(Presumably new BBC guidelines mean Carol can\u2019t now defend herself). @Ofcom\u00a0@Conservatives.”<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

More info<\/p>\n The row had exploded because Ms Vorderman objected to Mr Anderson interviewing Home Secretary Suella Braverman on his GB News show and started calling on her thousands of followers to report him to the watchdog Ofcom.<\/p>\n When Anderson announced via Twitter that he was interviewing Ms Braverman, Vorderman angrily posted: “This is NOT permitted by @ofcom regulation.<\/p>\n “Lee Anderson (deputy Tory chair) interviewing Suella Braverman (Home Secretary) on GB News. Time to complain before broadcast & RT?”<\/p>\n She then attached a link for her followers to use to contact Ofcom.<\/p>\n But later Ofcom clarified that a complaint could not be made until after a show.<\/p>\n She responded: “Will set the clock.”<\/p>\n However, Anderson then posted an article by the Guardian where Ofcom said there is “no rule preventing a Conservative MP interviewing another Conservative MP”.<\/p>\n This did not stop Ms Vorderman posting another Tweet demanding her followers complain to Ofcom.<\/p>\n And responding to Nicolson’s defence of her, she wrote: “@MrJohnNicolson MP is a prominent member of the Culture Media and Sport Select Committee.<\/p>\n “He identifies, as do we, that Lee Anderson interviewing Suella Braverman for a terrestrial broadcasting station, GB News, seems like a challenge to @ofcom.<\/p>\n “The tipping point gets closer.”<\/p>\n Ironically, the former Countdown star has been at the heart of claims that she is breaking broadcast rules by being given a platform by the BBC on her show in Wales while spouting anti-Tory propaganda on an almost daily basis..<\/p>\n Her attack on Anderson has come amid a flurry of posts demanding people vote tactically to get the Conservatives out at the next election.<\/p>\n She also was strongly criticised when she was accused of bullying minister Johnny Mercer’s wife Felicity on Twitter demeaning her for not going to university.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/139\/590x\/secondary\/Suella-4987579.jpg?r=1696153051141\")
