The former Countdown beauty appeared to be in shock by online remarks after revealing all about her new profile to her 376,000 followers, ahead of her solo flight around the world.
However, one user couldn't resist asking her to sign-up to mobile dating app Tinder as well.
Carol tweeted asking: "Hooray… I hope! I'm now OFFICIALLY on Facebook - go to www.facebook.com/realcarolvorderman… and give me a like xxx."
The 56-year-old went on to reassure her fans: "Not deserting Twitter at all… just adding Facebook #realcarolvorders in preparation for my round the world solo flight this summer WOOP."

It was then suggested to Carol: "@carolvorders If you're expanding your social media presence, how about joining Tinder?"

But, some seemed to be struggling to access her Facebook page, which she blamed on her thoughts being elsewhere.
