Carol Vorderman has left her BBC radio show over the corporation’s new social media guidelines.<\/p>\n

The former Countdown co-host said she was “not prepared to lose [her] voice on social media”.<\/p>\n

Ms Vorderman said BBC Wales management had “decided [she] must leave” as she had “breached the new guidelines”.<\/p>\n

She has presented the Saturday morning show on the station for the last five years.<\/p>\n

Ms Vorderman said it had been explained to her that the new guidelines would apply to “all and any content” posted by her throughout the year.<\/p>\n

This was “despite [her] show being lighthearted with no political content,” she added.<\/p>\n

She said she did not want to lose the ability to express her “strong beliefs” on “the political turmoil this country finds itself in”.<\/p>\n

“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,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I was brought up to fight for what I believe in, and I will carry on.”<\/p>\n

In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, she thanked her listeners, saying: “You made me laugh so much.”<\/p>\n

She also said she was “sad to have to leave the wonderful friends I’ve made at Radio Wales”.<\/p>\n

“I wish them, and all of our listeners, all the love in the world,” she said.<\/p>\n
