She spoke to her followers via Instagram Stories to reveal that she is looking into purchasing a van to be able to travel around the country.

"OMG I'm so excited – I'm going to get a van in my life so I can stay out one or two nights here and there." She then started to fantasise about her plans, saying: "I'll look up at the stars and get a little campfire going," and explained that she was going to speak to the owner of Van Life Builds, Wayne to discuss her options.

During the pandemic, Carol has transformed her lounge into a space for at-home workouts. In one Instagram update, she wrote: "Lounge and library are now my gym. Expect loads of dull 'Look at me working out' pics to follow."

As well as regal aesthetics, Carol is also a fan of quirky artwork. The nod to Carol's eccentric tastes is present in her dining room where the star a bold painting -  a blue landscape image featuring a cow within a red chandelier light.
