The TV host could be seen at the grand opening of the social space, which had been dubbed "The Carol Vorderman Buttery".

"This college means so much to me - back in the 1970s when I was from a comprehensive school in a very poor part of north Wales, I applied when I was 16, I was a free school meals kid," she said.
"Back then, the haves and the have-nots, the disparity was enormous, I was interview and somehow or another I was accepted, very young actually as I was only 17.
"I adore this college, I have seen it make a difference to so many people's lives, and you have no idea how much this means to me."
After posing for snaps in the lime green dress, Carol could be seen making a speech outside the dining room in a second tight outift.

She donned a white, brown and black dress for the emotional speech, as she was joined by her former teachers and current students.
The TV star went on to show off the inside of the stunning room, which had been decorated with ornate art and long dining tables.
Carol penned in an emotional caption: "Sidney Sussex College, University of Cambridge. The Carol Vorderman Buttery.
"This weekend I was honoured to have a part of my college named after me. The buttery is one of the traditional parts of dining in college. I love my old college, and here is why.
"I went to Cambridge University in the 1970s when kids like me, from Northern/North Wales comprehensive schools on free school meals, never got to Cambridge.
"You had to sit a special exam in those days called the Oxbridge exam, and all the private schools had teachers who knew how to train you. I didn’t.
"Our school in Rhyl couldn’t even let me take the two Maths A levels usually necessary to get to Cambridge (in addition to all the other subjects you needed), such were the restrictions.
"But my college invested in me and said I could go on a conditional A level offer instead. I got the grades.
"So in 1978, I went there when I was only 17 years old, and eventually graduated with an Engineering degree.
" My passion in life has always been to help others from a similar background do as well as they can in education and not be dependent on where they come from. I am FIERCE about this.

"These children are just as capable, just as intelligent. It’s just that their education at school hasn’t been as privileged as those in many private schools."
Carol revealed she finished the night by chowing down on a "Vorderman" cocktail, which is a "special" at the college bar.
