Carol Vorderman to leave BBC radio show after 'breaking social media rules'

Carol Vorderman is to leave her weekly show on BBC Radio Wales, saying she has broken BBC guidelines by attacking the government on social media.

The presenter, who has hosted the Saturday morning show for five years, is a vocal critic of the government on X, formerly Twitter.

The BBC recently published new impartiality rules for stars and staff.

Vorderman said she isn't "prepared to lose my voice on social media" and managers "have decided I must leave".

A spokesperson for BBC Wales said: "Carol has been a presenter on BBC Radio Wales since 2018. We'd like to thank her for her work and contribution to the station over the past five years."
