Carol told Michelle Visage on Rule Breakers when asked about her relationship status: ‘I’m having the best time.
‘I’ve spoken about this once. I have a system which I’ve had for 10 years. They’re called ‘special friends’.
‘I spoke a couple of months ago about having “special friends” and it was like, again, the world had fallen in for some people but actually what I found was there was an awful lot of women who said “I’d never thought about it like this”’.
She continued on to explain in detail her relationships with each man: ‘One’s 11 years, one’s seven years, you know everyone is single. It’s a happy place. I hasten to add I’m not into one-night stands.

‘The language around a woman of my generation is that if you had more than one partner when you got married you were this you were that.
‘Everything was derogatory about a woman, that was the environment I was growing up in. It was like ‘she’s desperate’, everything was judgmental.’
The TV host got married aged 24 in 1985 to a Royal Navy officer, Christopher Mather but their entanglement was short-lived and they split 12 months later.
At 30, Carol took a trip down the aisle again, this time to meet management consultant Patrick King in 1990.
The couple welcomed two children during their marriage which lasted until 2000.
