Carol told The Sun: ‘A mate of mine said it would be a laugh. A lot of LA people made contact, men and women funnily enough, but it’s not my scene.

‘I’m quite happy with my usual way of doing things. But life is never dull.’

Carol previously shut down the idea of trying out a dating app, telling Closer in 2018: ‘Can you imagine if I was on Tinder? My God’

Carol’s jaunt on Raya comes after she made a cheeky admission about her love life and vowed she will never marry again in an exclusive interview with MailOnline.

The TV icon admitted she has ‘special friends’ but is not dating in a candid chat.  

When asked about her love life, the stunning former Countdown presenter said: ‘I’m very happy, I have no complaints. I am not dating anyone, I have special friends. Special friends. Plural.’

And speaking about growing more confident with age, Carol said: ‘Young women beat themselves up about being perfect and there is no such thing. 

‘They compare themselves. And you get to an age where you go “just enjoy it, smile and enjoy it”. 

Carol has often spoken about her love life, saying in January that she feels ‘positively sick’ at the thought of being in another relationship. 

The star, whose former flames include pilot Graham Duff, who she split from in 2016, and PR consultant  Des Kelly, who she parted from in 2007, said she’s ‘VERY happy as a badly behaved singleton’  

First love: Carol was married to Christopher Mather from 1985 to 1986 (pictured on their wedding day at  St. Urbans Church, Headingly)

Exes: Carol then married Patrick King from 1990 until 2000, with the couple sharing children Katie, 28, and Cameron, 23 (pictured together in 1999)

She told The Telegraph: ‘The thought of sharing my life with someone again makes me feel positively sick.’  

She also took to Twitter to laugh about her declaration, tweeting: ‘Oh.. I make myself laugh sometimes…. Headline in today’s @TheTelegraph….”the thought of living with someone again makes me feel positively sick”… 

‘My way of saying I’m VERY happy as a badly behaved singleton.’ 

Carol was married to Christopher Mather from 1985 to 1986 and then to Patrick King from 1990 until 2000, with the couple sharing children Katie, 28, and Cameron, 23.
