Why she might be annoying:

British students sometimes use her name in conjunction with third-class undergraduate honors (the lowest such honor in the United Kingdom since the 1970s).
Many of her books are self-titled (as in 'Carol Vorderman's Detox Diet' and 'Carol Vorderman's How to Do Sudoku').
A torn cartilage ended her tenure on 'Strictly Come Dancing' (2004).

Why she might not be annoying:

She was raised by a single parent.
She developed her passion for sudoku while on a Caribbean vacation with her preteen daughter.
She earned a Master's degree in engineering.
She is dubbed the 'thinking man's sex symbol.'
However, Nigella Lawson placed ahead of her in a 2004 poll for the 'thinking man's crumpet' (a British term for an intelligent and sexually attractive female).
Her speed and precision with mathematical calculations kept her in good stead with the 'Countdown' team.
