Carol Vorderman poses with rarely-seen lookalike daughter and son
CAROL VORDERMAN has posed with her rarely-seen lookalike daughter and son and revealed one of them has a very impressive job.
THE former Countdown star, 65, is known for keeping her children out of the spotlight but in a rare instance, she decided to share snaps of herself with her children on social media.
She took to Instagram to post a series of snaps, with the first one showcasing the proud mum with her two children, Katie and Cameron.
In the picture, the trio look directly into the camera and smile from ear to ear as she wrote over it: “Me any my “babies”.”
In another photo, Carol smiled with Katie and in a third, the Pride of Britain Awards presenter took a selfie in a furry coat with a curly hairstyle.
Sharing her New Year’s post, she captioned it: “I rarely show pics of my children as you know, but I’m sitting here at the beginning of 2026 and thinking of the extreme joy to come this year, and just how bloody lucky I am because not only do we love the other but we really like each other too.”

Carol went on to reveal what her children have been up to, before telling her followers what Katie does as her career.
She continued: “Katie @katie.science has Space Pharma company called Bio Orbit and their big rocket launch this Summer which is VERY exciting. She’s winning European and global awards too.
“And Cam and I muddle along so happily at home in Bristol. He’s doing brilliantly too but in a completely different sphere of work to Katie.
“This year has brought our big extended family even closer on holidays and all sorts and to have the family and friends I have is beyond anything I could have ever wished for my younger self all those decades ago.
“Stuff of my dreams xxx. Anyway I’m here planning parties and holidays and a LOT of fun… with some cracking work too xx,” the ITV star signed off.
Her loyal followers flocked to the comments section to wish her well as one said: “Go Carol – the best mum any child could wish for.”
Another person expressed: “What a really lovely mother you are!”
Somebody else gushed: “Lovely – they look like mini-me versions of you.”
Yet another penned: “Happy New Year to you all! Have a fabulous 2026.”
While a fifth added: “Proud mum picture rightly so as well. God bless you all @carolvorders.”
Katie and Cameron are Carol’s children with former husband Patrick King, a professional cricketer whom she married in 1990 and divorced in 2000.
Her post comes after revealing she’s been suffering from a “chronically debilitating” illness.
She revealed the diagnosis while commenting on Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor’s Instagram post.
Carol wrote: “Morning Sally. I’ve done the same this year with a full body MRI and all clear thankfully.
“Having the special blood test for 70 cancers this week. Early detection where possible is now my mantra. The costs have come down dramatically for these services but they are sadly still a lot for most people.”
She then added: “I was struck with sudden and chronically debilitating rheumatoid arthritis almost a year ago and it’s taken a long time to get the meds right, so I no longer take my health for granted in any way xx
“Sending huge love and thanks 🙏🏼 to you for spreading the word and your honesty in all these matters. It helps no end of us mere mortals.”
