Carol Vorderman dating former Red Arrows pilot Graham Duff

Carol Vorderman is dating a former Red Arrows stunt pilot.

The former Countdown presenter has been dating the squadron leader Graham Duff, 37, for the past month, reports The Mirror.

The 51-year-old invited her new partner on set at the weekend during the filming of cooking talent show Food Glorious Food.

A friend of the star said: "It is very early days, but Carol is very happy with Graham.

"She has been on a few dates this year, but this is the first man that could become ­something serious."

Vorderman's spokesman confirmed that they are a couple, after meeting at a Red Arrows charity ball.

He said: "Carol and Graham have started to date, they get on well and would like to carry on seeing each other."

The Loose Women star revealed in June that she wanted to train as a private pilot and was looking to learn aerobatics.

Duff joined the Red Arrows in 2008, before leaving two years later to set up his own mobile phone app business. He is currently in the middle of a divorce from his wife Katie, whom he has a 1-year-old son with.
