The Resume

    (August 15, 1953- )
    Born in London, United Kingdom
    Daughter of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
    Twin sister of Mark Thatcher
    Journalist for The Sydney Morning Herald and THe Daily Telegraph
    Contributor to 'The One Show' (2006-09)
    Won the fifth series of 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' (2006)
    Wrote 'Diary of an Election: With Margaret Thatcher on the Campaign Trail' (1983) and 'Below the Parapet: The Biography of Denis Thatcher' (1996)

Why she might be annoying:

    She did not tell her mother she was a contestant on 'I'm a Celebrity...': 'She'll probably be very critical. It's not her sort of show.'
    She spent most of the first day of 'I'm a Celebrity...' throwing up, then during the night took a leak on the ground next to her hammock rather than go to the camp toilet.
    Margaret Thatcher admitted that she never read Carol's biography of Denis.
    She called her twin brother 'an arrogant prat.'
    She was fired from 'The One Show' after referring to a black tennis player, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, as 'half-golliwog' and 'the golliwog Frog.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    To be fair, she is hardly the only person to consider Mark Thatcher an arrogant prat.
    Her status as the Prime Minister's daughter hurt her journalism career, with her editor at the Daily Telegraph noting, 'She was cut off by quite a bit of the press who wouldn't run anything with Carol Thatcher's byline.'
    She became a fan favorite on 'I'm a Celebrity...' with the liberal paper 'The Mirror' running the headline 'Vote Thatcher: I Bet You Never Thought You'd Read That in the Mirror.'
    She observed, 'You need quite good shock absorbers and a sense of humour to be the Prime Minister's child.'
