flaunting such obviously enhanced knorks and a wasp waist suitable for Dita Von Teese on Britain's Got Talent tonight! Why oh why do we have to watch intelligent female tv presenters pandering to agism and sexism on TV in this way in the 21st Century? For once I feel genuinely upset.... Sad

Oh I didn't know that tether. I reckon she's had the works done Grin

The fact that she is such a strong Conservative party supporter puts me off too.

I thought she looked great in that dress. I'm about her age and have a black galaxy dress that gives me the same look on my cleavage and mine are real. The corset was holding her waist in. I bet she could hardly breathe. Grin

Was it this dress?

I don't really like the silver bit beneath the boobs.

I missed it on telly last night - another one who needs a picture.

BTW, I regularly used to get the numbers game right when Carol and the contestants on Countdown couldn't. [smug]

I didn't think she had had work done on her chest, but I did think the corset looked way too tight and small for her and that she looked like she couldn't breath (and that it was the corset pulling her chest up). I do think she's intelligent (numeric and IQ wise) but unfortunately I think she's read too much of her own publicity and believes herself to be more intelligent than she actually is. For someone with such a knowledge of numbers I was amazed she advertised those dodgy loan companies. Real lack of respect for her for doing that.

She got a third from Cambridge didn't she?

tbh she never comes over with that much common sense in the comedy panel shows either (8 out of 10 cats etc).

Can't leave this one alone. Anybody still believing that CV is a genius obviously didn't see her on Question Time earlier in the year. It was a butt-clenchingly awful effort on her part. She looked pretty stoopid. Anybody else remember that.

couldn't see her forhead. Clever use of fringe.

I was stunned by her appearance. Every time I see her she seems to have changed yet again.

To be honest I didn't notice the norks. I was looking at the tiny, tiny, narrow nose and the higher, fuller cheeks.

My money is on rhinoplasty and cheek implants. Also a bit of tightening/sculpting around the jaw. I could see the forehead so can't comment on what's going on up there.

There was no evidence of puffy fillers around the mouth so lots of knife but not much needle.

I know she's good with those numbers an' all - but I've never thought of her as that intelligent. More clever in an IQ sort of way.

curlymama you didn't see her. The point is not whether or not she looked good as that is a matter of personal taste for each of us watching: what I object to is that while male TV presenters can be as old as Brucie and get away with it, females have to rival Cheryl, Danni, or Natasha Kaplinski to have a chance, and now courtesy of CV it seems they have to look like Barbie too.

I didn't see her, so don't know exactly waht you're all talking about, but what's wrong with a woman looking good and making the best of herself?

I can't understand why anyone would have a problem with the way she looks unless they were jealous. But let's face it, whether she has or she hasn't had surgical work done, she certainly has enough money to make herself looks as god as possible, along with all the pro make up artists etc, so it's not like she can be fairly compared to the average woman of the same age.

I think it says more about the position of female TV presenters that Carol Vorderman is considered an intelligent woman TBH.

Overall she looked fab - but I didn't like the way her boobs looked in that dress - odd!

I have no time, respect or liking for this woman since she chose to start advertising dodgy loans on daytime TV.

For me it showed greed and a complete lack of morals - doesn't she have enough money?

I've met people who took out some of these loans and what they have to say about her is unprintable.

Well there's your first mistake, you've connfused her with an intelligent person. When in reality she is possibly one of the the biggest morons in Britain.
