Former Countdown presenter Carol Vorderman has announced she will be absent from her show on LBC today. The 63-year-old star has revealed she is unwell, admitting that “everything aches”.
Taking to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, she shared the important update with her 980,000 followers. Carol penned: “Morning lovelies.
“Woke to feeling quite a bit poorly today so not going to make it to London for my @lbc show. Had some cracking subjects for you too.” (sic)
Luckily her colleague, This Morning star Vanessa Feltz, will be stepping in to take the 3-6pm slot. Carol continued: “Vanessa will be sitting in for me today. I'll be back next Sunday. Sorry xx.
“Everything aches (Can I blame the Tories?)” she then cheekily added with a winking emoji. Carol has been vocal about her contempt for the Conservative Party in the past, actively campaigning for Labour to replace them in the upcoming general election.

Carol has garnered plenty of attention for voicing her political views in recent months, facing praise and backlash in equal measure.
Last year, she departed her BBC Radio Wales job after breaking BBC guidelines with vocal attacks against the government on social media, but has since found a new home on LBC.
Listen to Vanessa Feltz this afternoon from 3pm to 6pm on LBC.
