I’m A Celeb SPOILER: Carol Vorderman reveals she told a NON to “f**k off” and date “the bad boys” at age 15. She looks back on her naughty school days
Carol Vorderman has confessed to once “telling a nun to fuck off.”
The 62-year-old star admitted she was “naughty” at school and was already dating in Manchester in her mid-teens.
Speaking of scenes airing Wednesday on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa, she told campmate Myleene Klass, “Never did my homework. Serious! Half an hour in the back of the bus, it was all too easy.
“I was always fobbed off. I once told a nun to fuck off, she was horrible. I was a naughty girl.
‘When I was 15 I was in nightclubs in Manchester with the bad guys. I loved it.’

She and Myleene also talked about their looks and the decision to get rid of their scales.
The former Countdown star insisted, “I only go by dress size.”
She admitted she threw away her scale “in 1999,” adding, “I don’t know [my weight] this century.’
Myleene revealed, “The second time I had daughters, I threw off the scale. No way, I don’t let them rule by numbers. Those numbers.’
She also argued that it is not right to emphasize children’s weight as a way of measuring their “worth”.
She said, “Why let your children measure themselves, their worth, their contribution by numbers on a scale? I was like, ‘No, get rid of it, I don’t want it in the house.’ ‘
Myleene – who has daughters Ava, 15, and Hero, 12, with ex-husband Graham Quinn and three-year-old son Apollo with fiancé Simon Motson – insisted that ‘body positivity is so important’.
She added, “I want my girls to be empowered by what their abilities are and what they have to say for themselves and how they think.
“I want that to be celebrated, not skin and glands and fat. We’ve got it all.’
