Carol Vorderman was a star on our screens for many years from shows like Countdown and This Morning to her BBC Radio role that she stepped away from last year.

Alongside this, the 63-year-old is also a doting mum to her two children: Katie, 33, and Cameron, 26. Katie has followed in her brainy mum's footsteps by pursuing a career in science, but she can also be seen regularly joining Carol on the red carpet – and the duo could easily be mistaken for twins.

Mother's day at the ground

Not only has Katie inherited her mum's brains, but she's also inherited her love of sport and fitness and even joined her mum to a sports match on Mother's Day.

Carol wrote: "So it was Mother's Day on Sunday and can I say I'm absolutely LOVING doing loads with my girl Dr Katie King PhD (I'm allowed a proud Mum moment...ha) now she's living in Wales. She's a fitness freak and loves a hike and a gym sesh. And a party and well LIFE really."

Birthday girl

Carol was as proud as punch when she celebrated Katie's birthday in this throwback snap, and the duo look so similar as they smile together.

 

Giving an insight into Katie's birth, Carol shared: "Happy Birthday to my kind, hilarious, hard working, loving, talented, geek girl Katie @katie.science. Katie was 2 months premature (worrying times). Now she's a Research scientist."

 

She added: "It's not often I ever talk about my children....I kept their lives very private as kids but now they're grown up...well I'm allowed to say how proud I am of them both..."
