GMB: Technical blunder as camera zooms in on Carol Vorderman
The 57-year-old TV star revealed her excitement to her 387,000 Twitter followers earlier today as she enthused about an article covering a construction innovation following the creation of concrete which can heal itself.
Carol Vorderman shared the piece with her fans, writing: “Wow… After years in the labs studying reinforced concrete #CambridgeUniEngineer (while English students sat on the lawn reading poetry and calling it work!!! LOL) this looks like an AMAZING breakthrough.
“The smell of cement always does it for me #GeekAdmission,” she added saucily.
Some of the former Countdown bombshell’s fanbase didn’t appear to appreciate her cheeky comment about English students, however.
Writer Sally Abbott took to the comments section to share her frustration, saying: “This is amazing. But why s**g off english students?
Maybe try not to take these things too seriously
“That’s rather disappointing of you,” she added.
Carol was quick to respond, replying: “Um… Maybe try not to take these things too seriously when I’m taking about the scent of cement…
“Happy day missus. Yours… a most Un-Civil Engineer,” she quipped.
Seeming to be taking the situation lightheartedly, Sally wrote back: “Carol, I ALWAYS take you seriously.”
“Oh gawd… I don’t…” the Rear of the Year winner joked.

Sally wasn’t the only social media user who took umbrage at Carol’s remark.
Another said: “Come on Carol, you can make your point without taking a sideswipe at the arts!”
Before finding fame on Countdown, where she won the hearts of the nation and drew attention for her stunning figure and incredible maths skills, Carol previously began her career working as a junior civil engineer at Dinorwig Power Station in Wales.
Last week, Countdown legend Carol Vorderman toned her eye-popping rear as she did squats in a series of sexy snaps.
Sharing the shots on Twitter, the busty star could be seen showing off her hourglass curves as she revealed how she keeps her behind in shape.

The mother-of-two worked out her lower body, completing a variety of exercises whilst holding onto ropes for her outdoor session.
Dressed in a pair of skintight black leggings, she ensured her bottom was impossible to miss.
Carol also flaunted her enviably trim waist in a figure-hugging grey top, wearing her mane of golden tresses loose around her shoulders.
Her fans flooded to the comments section to gush over the titillating snaps, with one saying: “So THAT’S how you get Rear of the Year.”
“No wonder your butt is so perfect,” a flirtatious Twitter user chipped in.
