The former Countdown star said she had breached social media guidelines put in place by the BBC.
Celebrities including Alan Carr and Dame Kelly Holmes have expressed “respect” for Carol Vorderman after she announced she was departing her BBC radio show following the introduction of social media guidelines.
In the comments section of her Instagram post, comedian Carr wrote “big respect Carol” whilst Visage said “adore you endlessly”. Carol Vorderman has said she is leaving her Saturday morning show on BBC Radio Wales “When your work wants to control your social life, that’s when it’s time to say bye bye. Good on you Carol.”
She said: “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.”“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.
