CAROL VORDERMAN felt absolutely pleased after finding out she was one of the most searched in Google in the UK for more than a year now. She was purportedly the fourth most searched female in 2016, and she doesn't seem to know why.

According to Express UK, the 55-year-old Carol shared a tweet with her 372,000 followers earlier today to ask them if it was her cooking skills that saw her upsurge through the Google positions. Carol joked: "Laughing loudly as just been told I was fourth most Googled woman in Britain last year… it must have been for my cooking prowess… no.”

But then, the countdown favorite has had a definitely demanding year having taken part in the exhausting jungle show, which she hosted the Pride of Britain Awards and was itemized as one of the most inspiring females over 50.

The stirring news comes just days after Carol set beats racing at The Sun Military Awards, where she exposed off her post-Australia radiance. Swaggering down the red carpet, the single mother-of-two impressed in a sequined dress, which came complete with a bold backless design. In the meantime, Carol is in good company as Meghan Markle is held to have surpassed the list on Google, conferring to The Independent which is subsequent to the news that she is dating Prince Harry.

In addition, according to mirror, Carol has helped to encourage women of a ‘certain age’. The Pride of Britain host and ambassador for Victoria.co.uk has also just launch a campaign inviting women to help re-define what it really means to be 50+ today. With 70% of women saying that they feel more self-assured as they enter their older years.

Carol’s articles on the site have been swamped with remarks of appreciation from readers, predominantly keen to praise her efforts in the jungle. One stated: “Well done, you are a brave woman. You showed me that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. You are a winner to me and all women”.
