The series will follow single women in their 50s and their time spent finding Mr Right, or enjoying freedom as older women.

Speaking about the show, Carol said: "Some women might want 3 or 4 on the go at the same time, and some might not want anybody."

Talk soon turned to her own love life however, with the ex Countdown host quick to admit she prefers dating to long-term romance.

She continued: "Not everyone is looking for a keeper, and that's the point really. Some are... I'm not.

Leaving host Lorraine in giggles with her confession, she went on: "Surprise surprise! I'm not at all.

"I couldn't think of anything worse at the moment to be perfectly honest.

"I have had the best week of my life for the RAF 100 celebrations. I never dreamed I would be in Westminster Abbey in uniform, working with The Royal Air Force Air Cadets, partying, it was wonderful."

Before adding with a laugh: "My fifties have been the best decade of my life!"

 Carol, who unveiled a trendy new look on the show, also admitted her fifties were 'the best years of her life'

Carol was last linked to tattooed builder Cas Neill, 49, when the pair attended a black tie gala hosted by Princess Anne last year.

The romance followed her break-up from on-off toyboy lover Graham "Duffy" Duff, who is 14 years her junior.

Carol had sworn off relationships after splitting from the Red Arrows pilot, and instead revealed her plans to fly solo around the world with her own pilot's licence.

The Cambridge graduate said in July 2017: "I’m happily single, freely independent and doing my own thing.

"I’m not opposed to going out with someone ten years younger, it’s acceptable. But Duffy was 14 years younger – that was a bit silly really."

Carol first married Royal Navy officer Chris Mather at the age of 24, but their romance ended after just a year.

She then wed Patrick King in 1990, with whom she had her two children Katie, 25, and Cameron, 20.
