Carol Vorderman: 'I won't talk sex on Loose Women'

Carol Vorderman has said that she won't talk about her sex life on Loose Women, to avoid embarrassing her children.

The presenter, who joined the ITV lunchtime panel show earlier this month, told The Mirror that she would not be joining in the frank discussions about her fellow stars' bedroom antics.

"No, no, no, no, no," Vorderman said. "There are things you can discuss, just as you would with your own girlfriends, without giving away too much. I'll just think of my mum back home watching me and telling me off. And I wouldn't want to embarrass Katie and Cameron in front of their friends.

"But if the other ladies are happy talking about sex, that's up to them. I'm not at all judgemental of other people. Denise [Welch] and Carol [McGiffin], carry on!"

The former Countdown star, who says turning 50 "changed" her, admitted that she is enjoying the single life, having split from partner Des Kelly earlier this year.

"I've always been with someone from the age of 15, I've always had a boyfriend, husband or lived with someone," she said. "Now's the first time in my life I've been single and I really like it. But that's not to say I'm not dating, by the way!"

Loose Women continues weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV1. Vorderman will also host the Pride of Britain Awards on ITV1 next Wednesday, October 5.
