Carol Vorderman blasts BBC for controversial decisions’ after scandal [Video]

Carol Vorderman has taken aim at ‘controversial decisions by BBC management’ following the Huw Edwards scandal.

The former Countdown star, 63, was given a standing ovation after she delivered the Alternative MacTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh TV Festival on Friday.

She described herself as having been on thousands of TV shows over decades, ‘sacked by the BBC – twice – pain in the a**e, lover of parties, post-menopausal’, adding she was standing ‘in anger and without apology’ at the media event.

Carol claims she was ‘sacked’ by the corporation with ‘no conversation to be had’ after it introduced new social media guidelines she did not agree with.

She said ‘trust in the BBC is declining’, which she said was understandable because of the way ‘people feel after so many controversial decisions by BBC management’.
