CAROL Vorderman blushed on today's This Morning as her co-star mocked her for having "many boyfriends".
The TV star, 61, looked great on today's show in a leather dress and knee-high white boots.
Carol is now a This morning regular and today was on to give festive dating advice.
Teasing the viewer phone-in, she said: "A lot of people break up at Christmas time. Should you break up before? Do you go into it possibly knowing that's what's going to happen? Divorce lawyers are very active in January."
Cheeky Gyles Brandreth couldn't resist having a bit of fun with Carol's recent declaration that she has numerous lovers.
He said: "She's got so many boyfriends she plays the thing of pass the parcel and whoever ends up holding the parcel has to leave the house. That's how she gets shots of them."
Carol bashfully responded: "Just makes it up as he goes along."
The former Countdown star said in Ocotber that she's in relationships with a string of men - one of whom is in space.
She said: "I have ignored the looking for one person and I have a number of what I've called 'special friends'."
Speaking about the blokes, she continued: "They don't know each other, but they know about it. It's a very honest relationship.
"One of them has gone on for many more years than my marriage. Yeah, it's over 10 years. Another is seven.
"He's an astronaut. He rang me from the space station."
Carol explained it was an attitude she had taken up since turning 50.
She added: "They're not looking for love, they'e looking for companionship, looking for friendship, it may turn into love.
"The age is really immaterial, but my experience suggests that somebody roughly in your age bracket. You have more in common."
The star was first married to Christopher Mather, a Royal Navy officer, in 1985 when she was 24.
The married ended after 12 months and she wed management consultant Patrick King in 1990.
The pair separated in 2000 and share children Katie and Cameron.
Carol explained: "You know, I don't really want to marry again. I don't really want to live with a man again. Have to look after him all the time.
"But this is a time to break this nonsense taboo, which is a person should only be looking for one other person that satisfies everything in their life. That's hell."
