Vorderman has presented a Saturday morning show on the station since June 2019

Announcing her departure from the station, Vorderman said she respected the BBC’s decision to introduce new guidelines, but was not prepared to lose her voice on social media.Vorderman previously used her account on X, formerly Twitter, to express her views about the Conservative Party, who she has described as “a lying bunch of greedy, corrupt, destructive, hateful, divisive gaslighting crooks”.

“However, despite my show being light-hearted with no political content, it was explained to me that, as it is a weekly show in my name, the new guidelines would apply to all and any content that I post all year round. “My decision has been to continue to criticise the current UK Government for what it has done to the country which I love – and I’m not prepared to stop. I was brought up to fight for what I believe in, and I will carry on.

“I’m sad to have to leave the wonderful friends I’ve made at Radio Wales. I wish them, and all of our listeners, all the love in the world. We laughed a lot, and we will miss each other dearly., in which the Match of the Day presenter compared the language used by the Conservative Government over asylum seekers to 1930s Germany.
