Carol Vorderman made her feelings clear when she was quizzed on TV about whether or not she would sleep with axed GB News presenter Laurence Fox.

Rather than give a yes or no answer, the 62-year-old BBC Radio Wales presenter simply turned away and grimaced.

Carol was a guest on BBC’s Have I Got News For You when the contentious topic arose.

In the segment of the show, which aired the biggest stories of the week being mocked, host Victoria Coren Mitchell brought up Laurence Fox who made headlines for his misogynistic comments about female journalist Ava Evans.

Carol has publicly supported Ava and so was already knowledgeable about the topic and immediately waded in.

“Ah, yes. So, Laurence Fox was on Dan Wootton’s show and he said some terrible things about a female journalist called Ava Evans,” she explained for those who didn’t know.

“Then there were lots of complaints, and then Laurence Fox was sacked but Dan Wootton, apparently there’s an internal investigation.”

Keen to bring the topic back to the comedy show setting, Victoria joked, “More importantly, though, Carol, about Laurence Fox, would you s**g him?” The audience erupted into laughter as Carol made a horrified expression, turning away in disgust and grimacing painfully.

Shaking her head, she vocalised “Eurgh!”, which only served to generate more laughter from the audience.

However, Victoria, who is married to Peep Show star David Mitchell, then made a surprising admission. “You see, I think I probably would but…” she trailed off as a shocked Carol exclaimed, “Victoria!”.

“Call me Gen X, a difference of opinion is no bar,” cracked the host.

Fox was officially fired by GB News on Wednesday alongside Calvin Robinson who had publicly supported him. He sparked a huge backlash last week when he questioned what “self-respecting man” would ever “climb into bed” with journalist Ava Evans on Dan Wootton Tonight.

Fellow host Robinson was then sacked after stating bosses were “scared” of regulator Ofcom, who had launched an investigation into the interview following thousands of complaints.

More than 8,800 people got in touch with the watchdog to issue complaints about the derogatory remarks made by Laurence.
