Edwina was crucial in her daughter’s rise to fame as she discovered the newspaper advert that launched her career.

She previously tweeted her love to the Yorkshire Post where the advert was originally seen.

“Always loved the @yorkshirepost. I got my job on Countdown when my Mum read about it in YP when we moved to Leeds in 1982. Ha,” Carol posted.
