In a discussion centring around how young people get married these days, Carol admitted it wasn’t a good idea when she entered into her first marriage at 31… to Chris.

Co-presenter Nadia Sawalha asked her to expand, wanting to know why she had always labelled getting married that early wasn’t a good idea.

“I don’t know!” she laughed.

“I was just swept along, at the time I convinced myself I couldn’t live without him,” she continued.

She went on to describe him as “very manipulative and persuading” before saying that she did not marry him for his money – and that she had more than him at the time!

“He was nothing without me, nothing.”

She went on to explained that tying the knot was particularly significant for the pair, saying:

“Look seriously, it’s important to us – we’ve lost family this year, and that cemented that we want to be together and married.”
