And she’s also helped out thousands of children and parents alike during recent months.
The maths whizz has made her online mathematics learning program free during lockdown.
Known as The Maths Factor, it temporarily crashed after she initially announced the free service.
Usually priced at £2 per week, she said at the time: “I don’t want any child to fall behind nor any parent or carer to feel out of their depth.
“We are determined to support families and schools to continue their learning and exploration at home – unlocking children’s confidence and making maths fun.
“The power of math – and its impact on children’s outcomes, on science and the world around us – has never been more clear than it is today.”
Carol rose to fame in 1982 when she joined popular game show Countdown.
She’s gone on to take various television and radio roles, and annually hosts The Pride of Britain Awards.
