Carol Vorderman is to leave her weekly show on BBC Radio Wales after breaking BBC guidelines by attacking the government on social media.

The presenter, who has hosted the Saturday morning show for four years, is a vocal critic of the government on X, formerly Twitter.

The BBC recently published new social media rules for stars and staff.

Vorderman said she was not "prepared to lose my voice on social media" and managers "have decided I must leave".

She has almost 900,000 followers, and her previous posts include one on Saturday that said: "This iteration of the Tory Party needs to be utterly dismantled at the next election."

On the same day, she commented on a post from Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who said she and the "law-abiding majority" want to stop people who "cause nuisance and distress" by pitching tents in public spaces.

Vorderman wrote: "What I want to stop, and what the law abiding majority wants to stop is your vile government clinging onto power for a day longer."
