Carol Vorderman buys £40k campervan after selling £2.6m mansion with swimming pool
CAROL Vorderman has swapped her luxury mansion for a campervan.
The 60-year-old splashed out on a £40,000 motorhome after leaving her sprawling pad when she put it on the market for £2.6m.
The TV star decided to put her beloved mansion Sloblock Hall – a Countdown anagram of "B*****ks" Hall - up for sale in Bristol last year, and she is now heading for a life on the open road.
The mum-of-two, who also has a home in her beloved Pembrokeshire, will be converting her new MAN TGE van into a stunning motorhome, which she has already dubbed "Vordersvan."
The vans sell as new for between £38,000 and £47,000 depending on if it is automatic or manual transmission.
Sharing a photo of her van, she said: "Yesssssss… 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… booommm.

"Next stop is Wayne and Jade at @vanlifebuilds to make her glorious for me and my adventures."
She has already tried out the fittings available for her life on the road - including wood burning stove, roof-top seating and a hammock.
Her accommodation last night featured a bed, hammocks, a mini log burner and a projector for watching films on the van door.
She said: " I definitely want a wood burner in our van - we are gonna have lots of adventures.
"Bed at the back. Stand on it and climb through the skylight. Benches that fold up and down to sit on the roof... imagine our views from there."
