Carol Vorderman swaps £2.6m Bristol home for a £40k campervan and life on the road

Carol Vorderman surprised her fans as she revealed her new home - and it's on wheels.

She has swapped her £2.6million Bristol home for a luxury £40,000 campervan.

The former Countdown host, 61, shared a photo of her new renovation project on Instagram - which is a lot smaller than her sprawling pad named Sloblock Hall - a cheeky Countdown anagram of 'B*****ks Hall'.

Carol sold 'B*****ks Hall' last year and now she has got a new venture.

The TV star shared a first look at her MAN TGE van on her brand new page Vordersvan.

She wrote alongside the snap: "Van alert... My baby @vordersvan is on her way from @volkstrek with her new wheels...

"Just look at the raised chassis on that one then....booommmmm....

"Next stop is Wayne and Jade at @vanlifebuilds to make her glorious for me and my adventures... AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGFHHHHHHH I'M SO EXCITED.

"I'll keep you updated... Once a geek...always a geek... Gonna celebrate this step HARD."

Carol looked ecstatic as she posed beside her van in photos - clearly proud of her achievement.

She previously revealed her hopes and plans of having a van, teasing: "We are gonna have lots of adventures if you wanna come with me on here."

Telling fans about her future designs, the television personality wrote online: "Had a lovely time this evening with @vanlifebuilds [heart emoji] getting ideas for my van build.

She continued: "I DEFINITELY want a wood burner in our van (we are gonna have lots of adventures [smiling emojis] if you wanna come with me on here).

"Cool idea from @vanlifebuilds... little projector onto one of the doors."

The TV star also revealed there was a roof terrace, adding: "Bed at the back. Stand on it and climb through the skylight. Benches that fold up and down to sit on the rood... imagine our views from here [thumbs up emoji] clever @vanlifebuilds."

It seems she is fully prepared for plenty of road trips in her portable home, and can't wait to update her followers on how the van is coming along.

In December, Carol revealed her pad in Bristol has now been sold as she told how she will be "going on new adventures".

She said in an Instagram post that she wishes the family who have snapped up the mansion she put on the market for £2.6millon, "every happiness and health and laughter".

Carol wrote: "Goodbye my happy place.....

"So many wicked parties.....so so many brilliant memories.

"I'm a lucky woman. And now I'm moving on to yet more new adventures. Wishing the new family who call you home now every happiness and health and laughter."

"Cheers SLOBLOCK. We had a blast."
