Carol Vorderman was joined by her rarely-seen son Cameron on the red carpet at the 2025 Pride Of Britain Awards on Monday night.
The Pride Of Britain presenter, 64, who recently revealed her ‘hellish’ health woes, looked incredible in a figure-hugging black gown.
The TV star linked arms with her son, 32, who cut a dapper display in a navy suit and red tie.
Carol shares Cameron with her ex-husband Patrick King. The couple were married for ten years, walking down the aisle in 1990 before parting ways in 2000.
Carole has previously spoken candidly about her son’s learning disabilities and how proud she is of his achievements.
She told Daily Mail in 2021 that she noticed something was different about him very early on and described trying to teach him the ABCs was difficult and he was often disruptive – but she never doubted his brilliance.

She said: ‘By six, this child I loved so much, that I would have done anything for, was being rejected — by the school, by the teachers, by the other pupils. It was heart-breaking, utterly heart-breaking.
‘And I was lost. Was I going to have to teach him at home, myself? How? I just wasn’t equipped. I didn’t know how to teach a child with this level of special needs.’
When Cameron was awarded a master’s degree from Dundee University, Carol congratulated him on social media.
She referenced to his learning difficulties which she had feared would hold him back in life.
‘That we are here, with him gaining a master’s is down to Cameron, and his determination,’ she said.
‘I could not be prouder of how he has done this, because frankly I didn’t know how it would be possible. The gap between how I thought children learned and how he needed to learn was so vast.
‘But he has been teaching me. I’m still learning from him. There’s so much about education, about the brain, about how we learn that I simply did not know. Things that we, as a society, need to know.
She told Daily Mail at the time: ‘I knew he wasn’t thick, or slow, or any of those things that he and children like him are often told. I always thought he was brilliantly bright. He is.’

Carol recently told fans she has been ‘very poorly’ in a new health update – after stepping away from work commitments
During the interview Cameron interjected: ‘Oh, I still think I’m an idiot, but I would now question how we define intelligence. Mum downplays her role, but I wouldn’t be here without her. She wouldn’t give up on me,’ he says.
Carol recently told fans she has been ‘very poorly’ in a new health update – after stepping away from work commitments.
The presenter was forced to quit her LBC radio show last year after she had experienced ‘burnout’ and found herself in hospital.
Carol admitted she had worked herself too hard after working seven days in a row for several weeks repeatedly and made the decision to step back, after getting her own show on the station in 2023.
Carol explained to the Mirror that despite having a ‘hellish year’ she is on the right medication and has her ‘mojo back’.
She told the publication: ‘This year has been a bit hellish health-wise.
‘I’ve been very poorly, not related to the burnout but something entirely different. I’m on the right medications now, but it’s only in the last month or so that I felt I’ve got my mojo back. So watch out, world!’
