Carol Vorderman leaves BBC radio show over new social media guidelines<\/h3>\n

Carol Vorderman has said she was forced to “make light” of her health struggles after going through menopause.<\/p>\n

The 62-year-old spoke about her health issues and her experiences on the Postcards from Midlife podcast with Trish and Lorraine.<\/p>\n

She explained: “Women of my generation have always been told to slide away.<\/p>\n

“Even when I was hosting Loose Women, which was 10 years ago, it was only acceptable to go, ‘Ooh, I’m having a crazy moment’, if it had to with menopause, or, ‘Ooh, I’m having a bit of a moment’, and make light of yourself when you’re going through this.”<\/p>\n

The Countdown star went on to say that she’s glad times have changed and women are now speaking up in the workplace.<\/p>\n

She continued: “It’s not always horrific for people, but you can have horrific days, and now thank god women are going, ‘Stuff that, this is what is happening, I need help in the workplace, I need to be able to hear from people who are doing this’.”<\/p>\n

The television personality put down her experiences to patriarchy and people having an old-fashioned societal attitude.<\/p>\n

Carol’s comments come after she announced she’s leaving her Saturday morning show on BBC Radio Wales.<\/p>\n

The reasoning behind the Countdown legend’s exit is due to the broadcaster’s new social media guidelines.<\/p>\n

She has fronted her weekend broadcast since 2019, but has now announced she had no choice but to leave the programme behind.<\/p>\n

The Pride of Britain star shared a statement about her exit and expressed her sadness about her friends at BBC Radio Wales that she is leaving behind.<\/p>\n

The BBC’s rules were updated following a furore over Gary Lineker’s political posts on X (formerly known as Twitter) earlier this year, which saw him temporarily suspended from Match of the Day.<\/p>\n
