Carol Vorderman has been out enjoying Cheltenham Festival this week. In photos taken on Wednesday, March 15, the 62-year-old former Countdown star could be seen having a laugh with singer Gareth Gates.
Pop Idol runner-up Gareth, who was wearing a smart suit and tie, was photographed with Carol in an exclusive area at the races. She was wearing a leather bustier, white shirt, feathered hat and fur stole.
Earlier this week, Carol made headlines after being spotted having a conversation with former Health Secretary Matt Hancock. She explained all in a two-part social media video - read more about that here.

“Apparently according to other papers Gareth Gates and I are cosying up together,” Carol captioned the video about her chat with Matt. During said social media video, Carol described how her and the politician’s meeting was a “setup” and that photographers had caught her at the wrong time.
Elsewhere at Cheltenham Festival, the King's niece Zara Tindall put on a regal display in a burgundy coat and heels. Her husband Mike Tindall wore a tie that matched her outfit.
On Wednesday, the 2023 Cheltenham Festival announced its first death of the week. Malinello was seriously injured whilst competing in the Wellchild National Hunt Challenge Cup. At the 16th fence of the 3m5f race, the eight-year-old horse, trained by Ben Pauling, who had a 125-1 chance and was being ridden by Gina Andrews, was hurt, and later passed away despite the best efforts of the veterinary staff members.
