The 58-year-old TV presenter insists she has no interest in settling down but enjoys a very active love life with a number of "special friends".
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Carol said: "I get up to a lot of mischief. I have a number of special friends -- but I'm not doing anything wrong. Everyone's single. And yes, apart from one, they're all younger than me.
"[If I name names] I'll have broken the code. I never mention them, and they don't talk about me. If I told you who they were, I'd have to kill you! I don't want to settle down. I'm enjoying my freedom."
Carol has two children - Katie, 26 and Cameron, 22 - from her second marriage to Patrick King, which ended in 2000 and she wants to focus on herself after raising her children and caring for her mother, who died two years ago.
She explained: "I've been a happily dutiful mum, supported my kids financially and raised them on my own. I also cared for my wonderful Mum full-time until she died two years ago.
"I hate the phrase 'me time', but it's the first time in my life I haven't been looking after anyone, and I intend to enjoy every minute."
Carol previously insisted she loves being single because she doesn't want to "commit" to being with a man, and also enjoys making her own decisions without having to "compromise" on her choices.
She said: "I love being single. It means I never have to compromise - if I want to move to a new city, that's up to me and I don't have to consider anyone else. It's how I like to be. I don't need a man to look after me ¬financially, thank you very much.
"And I'm never lonely because I have many friends who love mischief as much as me and everyone knows I'm a party animal.
"People think if you're not in a relationship, you're at home knitting. That's certainly not the case for me.
"Being single, in my mind, means I have lots of boyfriends at the same time and no commitment to any of them.
"Perfect. I haven't had a committed thing for years out of choice. I don't want it."
