TV presenter Carol Vorderman has said that it is “fine” if she loses jobs after criticising the Government.
The 62-year-old former Countdown star has been involved in several Twitter arguments with Tory MPs including Conservative chairman Greg Hands, who she is said to have deleted a number of her Tweets about on Thursday.
When asked how she feels about criticism from the Tories, Vorderman told The Times on Saturday: “It doesn’t bother me… I’ll tell you why. I’m knocking on 63. I’ve made my money. I’ve been through it all.
“What’s the worst that can happen? That I’ll lose some jobs? Fine by me. Bring it on. They can sling what they like at me.”
Recently Vorderman has appeared on ITV’s Loose Women, This Morning, Lorraine, I’m A Celebrity… South Africa and hosted a BBC Radio Wales show.
Hands had called for the former I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! competitor to apologise for posting “defamatory and damaging” tweets about his involvement in a lifestyle firm being awarded a £25.8 million personal protective equipment (PPE) contract in 2020.
On Twitter, now known as X, Vorderman said she was “happy to accept Mr Hands’ assurance that his role in the process was simply to refer the approach… (and) there was no impropriety on his part".
Vorderman has been involved in other rows with Tory MPs including in March when she called on the women’s minister, Maria Caulfield, to resign after she could not “be bothered to turn up” to a committee hearing about the menopause.
The MP, who is also minister for women’s health strategy, tweeted that she was “not a punch bag” and said anyone who posted “misleading information” about her would be blocked on the social media platform.
Vorderman also told the newspaper that people of all ages
