Carol Vorderman pays tribute to her five ‘special friends’ in Valentine’s Day post

She’s spoken candidly about having five different lovers in recent months.

And Carol Vorderman gave her quintet of ‘special friends’ a shoutout on Tuesday as she shared a Valentine’s Day post to Instagram.

The TV personality, 62, embraced the holiday of love by dressing in red with a pair of figure-hugging trousers and a ribbed top to match.

Sharing that she doesn’t need just ‘one person’ to complete her, she shouted out fans who could be in the same boat – whilst still dubbing herself a ‘singleton’.

Carol has previously detailed how her love life with five partners works, explaining that many start out as friends before it turns to romance.

The former Countdown star looked sensational in the snap as her ashy blonde locks were left to fall in a soft curl, while she added a glamorous palette of makeup.

‘Happy Valentines ♥️ To all my friends (including the special ones), to every kind person on this planet and to all singletons who don’t feel they need just one person to “complete” them. Have a wonderful day,’ she penned in the caption.

The star then shared a very similar message on her Instagram Stories, but added: ‘Love is love’ to the end with a beating heart sticker. 

A slew of stars took to the comment section, including Carol’s newly-single pal Vanessa Feltz, who commented: ‘And to you my darling chum ❤️’. 

While she joined multiple celebrities who were all sharing their own sweet Valentine’s posts for love ones to Instagram.

Last month, Carol gave a very candid insight into her complicated love life, explaining that she’s ‘not into one night stands’ but dates multiple men whom she affectionately names her ‘special friends’. 

Appearing on Michelle Visage’s Rule Breakers podcast, the star was probed on whether she was in a relationship.

To which she quipped: ‘No! I’m having the best time. I’ve spoken about this once. I have a system which I’ve had for 10 years. They’re called ‘special friends’. 

‘I spoke a couple of months ago about having ‘special friends’ and it was like, again, the world had fallen in for some people but actually what I found was there was an awful lot of women who said “I’d never thought about it like this”.’

Carol added she has been in ‘long term relationships, if you like’ with her special friends – and has been dating some for years.
