CAROL Vorderman is to leave the BBC over the broadcaster's new social media guidelines.
The 62-year-old Welsh presenter has announced she will be leaving her Saturday morning show on Radio Wales, which she has hosted since 2019.
Vorderman said she was not prepared to stop criticising the Government or express the"strong beliefs" she holds about the"political turmoil" the UK is in.“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.
“Consequently I have now breached the new guidelines and BBC Wales management have decided I must leave. We each must make our decisions.
