Opening up about their romance, Carol admitted people often mention their age difference. But she brushed these remarks aside, exclusively telling the Express: "If our ages were the other way around, nobody would ever mention it.
"I've had a few comments but I don't care. We've moved on from the days when he might have been described as my toyboy or people might call me a cougar."
Carol added: "We’re happy together and that's all that matters." The BBC star also touched upon her first marriage with Scottish businessman Jimmy Kirkwood, revealing they were unable to conceive children.
She said: "I’d wanted to be a mum since I was a child. And we tried everything. But it just never happened and nor could anyone tell us why. But I’ve got lots of nieces and nephews who I adore."
