Carol Vorderman often shares smoking snaps of herself with fans and has been crowned winner of Rear of the Year not once, but twice.
The former Countdown star, 62, has now opened up about the award and revealed she actually has a nickname for her bottom.
Carol said: ‘Rear of the Year is a funny one because I’ve always had this huge butt. Always. All my life!’
Insisting that her famous curves are all down to genetics, the TV star explained that many of her family members also have a similarly shaped bottom.
‘My whole family [has one]. It’s a thing. It’s called the Vorderman bottom, it was always like “oooh, there’s another Vorderman bottom!”’
She added to the Daily Star: ‘My brother’s got one, my nephews, my son, we’ve all got it!’

Carol – who won the Rear of the Year gong in 2011 and then again in 2014 – said she was ‘surprised and flattered’ to have scooped the trophy twice, adding: ‘Particularly at this stage of my life.’
The mum-of-two quipped: ‘As I said when I won it in 2011, I always suspected there were a lot of people out there who were glad to see the back of me. It now appears there were even more than I thought.’
It comes after Carol admitted she takes a no strings attached attitude to romance, instead labelling romantic partners ‘special friends’.
Carol explained she has been in ‘10-year-long’ relationships with different men at the same time and slammed the ‘b*****ks’ rules against women when it came to finding love.

‘I might have a boyfriend who only lasts a few months. I call them “special friends”. People may have other terms for them!’ she said.
Speaking with The Sun, Carol continued: ‘I don’t understand why my behaviour should change just because I’m getting older.
‘Every romcom tells women to look for love and live happily ever after. It’s all nonsense.
‘We sell every little girl the message: “Cinderella needs a prince to save her.” Yet half of marriages end in divorce.’
The mother-of-two has been single since she parted ways with journalist Des Kelly in 2007.
