While having a discussion on the importance of kindness on Twitter, Carol, 61, revealed that she once had a long-go with a woman who had tried to incite her with sexual violence for more than a year. She said that the woman in question also sent tons of online messages to her children too.
“Someone tried to incite sexual violence against me recently, inc thousands of online messages, went on for over a year, harassing my children too.” Said Carol.
Continuing, Carol shared that the woman was eventually caught and made to sign a restraining order. “Others would then copy that behaviour. We found HER and she signed a civil ‘restraining order’ in the end. This stuff is horrendous.”
When her fans heard her sad experience they quickly showed their support. Comments like “I know it’s not easy & I feel empathy and pain for you x.” And, “Oh god that’s awful! Bless you for speaking out xx,” and: “So sorry you had to go through this.” Were seen in Carol’s comments section.

Despite paying extra care and attention to her body not just by working out but by eating healthy too, Carol once revealed that she had a health issue that led to her legs and arms bloating.
According to Carol in a conversation with HELLO! editor Rosie Nixon on the In A Good Place podcast, “If I went for a walk, I’d come back and my calves were bloated. My ankles were bloated. I couldn’t drop weight. I was tired and I couldn’t sleep.”
Carol explained that she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism which meant that her Thyroid hormones were very low. Symptoms of hypothyroid includes tiredness, weight gain and feeling depressed.
Carol experienced two out of the three symptoms but, after she met with a medicine doctor who prescribed thyroxine for her, her Thyroid went back to its normal level.
