Like mother, like daughter, 31-year-old Katie studied at Cambridge University where she achieved a PhD in nanotechnology. Her daughter is currently in Portugal completing an intensive 9-week 'space studies programme.'
Carol's proud moment comes after she dropped a dress size at a juice detox in Portugal. The TV star spent 18 days at Jason Vale's Juicemaster retreat, which sees holidaymakers only drinking four juices daily rather than eating solid meals whilst taking part in yoga, fitness, meditation, games and walks.

The retreat is designed to change the way attendees feel, both mentally and physically, though there's no denying it's a challenge on the body.
Gushing about her weight loss, Carol penned: "I've dropped over a dress size and bursting with energy. Haven't been into these shorts for a few years and now they're loose. Boommmm… It's a special place here. So chilled out and happy. Jason has created the magic alright."
