Carol Vorderman to speak at Edinburgh TV Festival
Broadcaster, writer and campaigner, Carol Vorderman MBE, will be the Alternative MacTaggart speaker at the 2024 Edinburgh TV Festival supported by Screen Scotland.
Carol Vorderman is a TV presenter and, more recently, political commentator and campaigner. With a passion for everything mathematical and a skill with numbers, Vorderman made a name for herself when she started her TV career in 1982 as the maths genius on Countdown, working with the late Richard Whitely for 22 years and then with Des Lynam and Des O’Connor until she left in 2008.
Awarded an MBE in 2000 for her services to broadcasting and having appeared on and presented a raft of the nation’s favourite TV shows, Vorderman currently hosts a weekly radio show on LBC, a daily quiz podcast ‘Perfect 10’, the Pride of Britain Awards and is now also known for her political activism.
