Carol Vorderman praised after rescuing a clumsy hiker stuck in the Brecon Beacons

TV brainbox Carol Vorderman has received praise for her generosity after she helped a stranger in need.

The 61-year-old took to her Instagram to share a post from Tyrone Coburn who accidentally locked his keys in his car and had no phone signal to call anyone for assistance.

Luckily, Carol came to the “rescue” and transported Tyrone to the nearest village where he could call for help.

Captioning the sweet post, where she could be seen sitting side by side with Tyrone, Carol described her version of events.

She penned: “Awwwww. I was wandering around the Beacons yesterday and chatting to an ex-teacher who was manning one of the car parks for @breconbeacons.

“Then Tyrone and his two friends came over and said that he’d locked his keys in his car. The problem was he would have to climb back up a mountain for a signal to ring the AA or walk 5 miles to the nearest village…

“Er Hello….time for a lift,” she said.

Carol then went on to explain that Tyrone only recognised who she was when she took her sunglasses off and he was of course pleasantly surprised.

She continued: “He made me laugh tho cos we were chatting away in the car and it was only when I took my sunnies off that he recognised me.

“Two frights at once. Seeing it was the old numbers bird off the telly and it was her without makeup as well!!!!”

She finished off the caption by saying how glad she was that Tyrone was able to get home safely.

She said: “Glad you got back home safe and sound tho T. Always glad to help, just as you would help some other soul too I’m sure.”
