Carol Vorderman has announced she is leaving her BBC radio show because she is “not prepared to lose my voice” after the corporation introduced new social media guidelines.

The 62-year-old former Countdown star said management had decided she should give up her Saturday morning show on BBC Radio Wales over a breach of the guidelines.
