The former Countdown star said she signed up “for a laugh” and her inbox was soon flooded with messages.
Raya is a dating app for elite singles, which many celebrities have signed up to.
On the site, Carol could be mingling with Hollywood actor Channing Tatum, singer Lewis Capaldi and even Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams – all of whom are said to have signed up.

She told The Sun she made it clear she wasn’t looking for anything long-term and revealed she only stayed on the app for a short period of time before realising it wasn’t her “scene”.
Carol revealed: “A mate of mine said it would be a laugh. A lot of LA people made contact, men and women funnily enough, but it’s not my scene.”
She added: “I’m quite happy with my usual way of doing things. But life is never dull.”
Carol’s ‘special friends’
Indeed, Carol previously revealed she “got enough of all that business as it is” without the need to join a dating app.
She’s spoken openly in the past about her “special friends” and said she was “very happy” being single.
