WHAT 

Presenting legend turned political heavyweight - the fabulous Carol Vorderman is coming to Trouble! For the last few years Carol's updates on Tory cronyism has been a much needed light in the shadowy darkness. Carol will join us to discuss the tumult of the last few years and her fixes for our broken nation, as laid out in her brilliant new book, Now What? On a Mission to Fix Broken Britain.

‘But what has politics got to do with me?’ I hear you ask. Well, quite a lot really. Whether you like it or not, it affects every single thing in your life from the moment you wake up in the morning until you crawl into bed at night. But some of our political elite make it feel like a club which we have not been invited to join. The privileged few who want to keep it all for the privileged few. I hope this book can explain much, make you laugh out loud and make you realise that together our voices are powerful. Buckle up and come on a political rollercoaster with me – ‘an old bird with an iPhone’.

WHO

Born in 1960, Carol Vorderman grew up in a single parent family in poverty in North Wales with her sister, brother and her beloved mum, Jean. After attending a comprehensive school, at 17 years old Carol became one of the first girls from the free school meals scheme in North Wales to study at the University of Cambridge. Since childhood, Carol has had a passion for everything mathematical and her skill with numbers secured her a role on Countdown in 1982, the show that cemented her position as one of the most successful and popular female presenters in British TV history.

Carol currently hosts a weekly radio show on LBC, the Pride of Britain Awards and is known for her political activism. She was awarded an MBE in 2000 for her services to broadcasting.
