"Each of our shows has its own unique personality and audience, from debate and current affairs to consumer issues and heartfelt stories. Viewers will get to enjoy her trademark energy and sharp wit all day on 5, probably best to call in sick so you can tune in with no interruptions!"
Carol is delighted about the takeover, saying, "I’m really looking forward to spending the day across 5’s daytime shows."
"It will be great to chat about everything from the issues of the day to real life stories and consumer topics, and of course to share a bit about Celebrity Puzzling. I love a good puzzle, so I’m excited to give viewers a taste of what’s coming."
The Madame Blanc Mysteries star Sally Lindsay, was initially apprehensive about appearing on the show about puzzles.
Speaking of her apprehension, she shares, "I was honestly a bit nervous about this challenge as I'm more your general knowledge type but even though it was really competitive at times I surprised myself on some rounds! If you love a puzzle you will love this!".
Carol Vorderman will be appearing on 5’s Daytime line up on Tuesday 17th March, starting at 9:15am on Jeremy Vine.
