Carol Vorderman has broken her silence following the news that she will no longer front her Saturday morning show on BBC Radio Wales, and has made it clear she’s not backing down on her stance against the Tory government.<\/p>\n

Taking to Twitter last night, she told her more than 895,000 followers that she was “bowled over” by the support she’d received since stepping down.<\/p>\n

“From my heart, thank you for your overwhelming support today. Just bowled over by it. You’re so wonderful, genuinely thank you,” the 62-year-old wrote.<\/p>\n

“I’ll now increase calling out this disgusting Tory govt with facts & data which the right wing media fails to publish.”<\/p>\n

The new social media guidelines would have meant Carol could neither endorse nor attack any politician or political party during her radio show’s run, or in the two weeks before and after it, and she would have been obliged to abstain from any political debates too.<\/p>\n

The news that Carol is leaving the BBC follows a previous row over Gary Lineker’s comments, after he compared language used in British immigration “to that used by Germany in the 30s”, although he has now been reinstated.<\/p>\n

Carol, who was vocally supportive of her fellow BBC star at the time, has now been inundated with messages from some fans, congratulating her for standing up for her beliefs.<\/p>\n

Your passion and much needed voice ought not to be muzzled by the biased and suffocating government led agendas of the @BBCNews who will even turn on their own as they have with you. Mainstream media holds way too much power and the everyday men and women need a voice.”<\/p>\n

@ardent_student added: “Where is the freedom of speech? Outrageous what the BBC get away with and hide behind policy.”<\/p>\n
