Carol Vorderman, the former Countdown star and BBC Radio Wales presenter, has announced that she is leaving her Saturday morning show after five years, citing the new social media guidelines introduced by the BBC as the reason.
Vorderman, 62, said in a statement that she was “not prepared to lose my voice” on social media, where she has been vocal about her criticism of the UK government and its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, Brexit, and other issues.
