Carol Vorderman has recently made headlines for quitting her BBC Radio Wales show due to a dispute over the broadcaster's new social media guidelines, which restrict expressing political opinions online. This decision came after she had been co-hosting the show for six years. Additionally, Conservative MP Jonathan Gullis challenged Gary Lineker to stand against him in the next general election after accusing him of 'virtue-signalling', which also involved Carol Vorderman.
