Carol VordermanCarol Vorderman's not one you'd associate with the term 'big bum'.

But the TV star has confessed that's exactly what she's called at home.

She spoke to the Daily Mail about her posterior following the release of pictures of her wearing a figure-hugging, black Victoria Beckham frock.

"At home, of course, I am better known as the rather less glamorous 'Big Bum'. We all have, in my family, what we call the 'Vorderman bottom' - a sticky out, bigger-than-normal, signature, of the rear variety.

"I know the lines to all the good singalong big bum songs."

She continued: "The truth is, by my age - 50 next year - you learn to put up wCarol in the figure-hugging VB dressith what you've got and what you can't really alter.

"The problem is that if I ever Google my own name (known as an ego search), it is now the third listed website on the front page. You see, there is no escaping the Vordie bum.

"I ordered the VB dress months ago (it cost £1,180). It's been sitting in a box until this week and I thought I'd try it on and, lo and behold, it fitted. VB doesn't have a BB (big bum), as we all know, but her dresses are very flattering to those who do.

"So, back home, Big Bum here has zipped herself out of that Victoria Beckham dress and climbed back into her Marks & Spencer leggings. Bliss."
