TV brainbox Carol Vorderman has disclosed her funeral plans and it’s clear she wants to go out with a bang.
The 62-year-old spoke to comedian Kathy Burke about her Viking-style ceremony on the Where There’s A Will There’s A Wake podcast where she opened up about the big day.
While it may be that Carol was just having a laugh, she explained on the episode there will be “fireworks” as well as “paid mourners” at her funeral to celebrate her life in style.

“And then there’d be fire and because the harbour is slightly on a round so you go out of view, but people will be on the headland weeping and throwing things in and then there’d be fireworks.
“There’d be steel bands and heavy metal bands, just everything bloody going on – that’s what I want and then a huge party and lots of bad behaviour all through the night.
“There’d be free booze, lots of bad behaviour, that’s how I want to go out. The only thing is I might need a rehearsal before I pop my clogs,” she explained.

She said: “Dave had terminal cancer and had decided that he wanted Euthanasia,”
“They had the party and the next day, Dave died. The same people then went to the funeral. I thought, ‘how dignified and wonderful that was.'”
