After being beaten by an 11-year-old, Countdown numbers whiz Carol Vorderman seems to be considering a change of day job. The glamorous brunette has decided she would like to try her hand at acting, with roles in a Bond film or TV soap Coronation Street.
The intelligent 46-year-old suffered an embarrassing moment during a recent episode of Countdown when youngster Bradley Cates correctly answered a fiendish maths question which she had failed to figure out.
Despite her screen ambitions, perhaps she should be sticking to the day job though after admitting she's not a natural thespian. "I'm sure it's not rocket science, but I can't act at all. I've never had lessons or anything."
Nevertheless she says she'd love a part in a Bond film. "Perhaps a ten-second, walk-on-part or something," she says. But rather than portraying one of the glamorous Bond girls, her aspirations are something more in tune with her mathematical talents.
"I'd like a background role as a techie." She also wouldn't mind a cameo in popular soap Coronation Street. "When Peter Kay appeared in it last year, he talked about me and I thought that was just the business."
