Carol Vorderman has liked posts regarding speculation about her “very interesting” next chapter, after announcing she had left her BBC Radio Wales show on Wednesday, due to breaching new guidelines.
Taking to her social media pages, the presenter told fans she wasn’t prepared to stay silent about her political views and therefore had to leave, as part of a lengthy statement.
She explained that the management at BBC Wales had decided she “must leave” as a result.
Carol, 62, is no stranger to sharing her thoughts about the latest current affairs online, however the BBC states that all colleagues “should ensure their activity on social media platforms does not compromise the perception of or undermine the impartiality and reputation of the BBC, nor their own professional impartiality or reputation and/or otherwise undermine trust in the BBC”.
At the end of her statement today, Carol revealed she was now looking forward to moving on with her career, alongside a wink emoji.

On her Instagram post, many others, including Alan Carr, shared supportive messages in response to her decision.
The comedian wrote: “Big respect Carol,” while Denise Van Outen shared a love heart and kiss emoji.
“Love you Carol,” Ashley Banjo typed.

One wrote: “Can’t thank you enough for using your platform for good.”
A second added: “You did well with this. The people need this election more than ever.
“I just would love to see your country return to a more civilized state of life.”
A third commented: “You are my hero Carol, please keep talking about these dreadful inequalities.”
