Carol Vorderman has spoken out for the first time since she quit the BBC after a change to their social media guidelines.
The Countdown icon told fans on Wednesday that she was stepping down from her ‘wonderful’ role at BBC Radio Wales after five years because of the new impartiality rules.
The star, 62, has been open in criticism of the Tory government across her platforms in the past, where she's accused politicians of being a "lying bunch of greedy, corrupt, destructive, hateful, divisive, gaslighting crooks".
In a statement, she said yesterday: “The BBC recently introduced new social media guidelines, which I respect.
“However, despite my show being light-hearted with no political content, it was explained to me that, as it is a weekly show in my name, the new guidelines would apply to all and any content that I post all year round.
“Since those non-negotiable changes to my radio contract were made, I’ve ultimately found that I’m not prepared to lose my voice on social media, change who I am, or lose the ability to express the strong beliefs I hold about the political turmoil this country finds itself in.
“My decision has been to continue to criticise the current UK Government for what it has done to the country which I love – and I’m not prepared to stop. I was brought up to fight for what I believe in, and I will carry on.
“Consequently I have now breached the new guidelines and BBC Wales management have decided I must leave. We each must make our decisions.
“I’m sad to have to leave the wonderful friends I’ve made at Radio Wales. I wish them, and all of our listeners, all the love in the world. We laughed a lot, and we will miss each other dearly.
“But, for now, another interesting chapter begins.”
