Carol Vorderman describes Boris Johnson as a 'dose of diarrhoea' amid latest Covid rule breach allegations

Bristol's Carol Vorderman appeared on Have I Got News for You tonight (May 26). It took her just minutes to aim shots at the government and, in particular, Boris Johnson.

The opening segment of the BBC show reviewed some of the biggest news headlines of the week. It mentioned the latest accusations against the former Prime Minister.

Boris Johnson recently got referred to police over further potential rule breaches during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Times reported this week that he has been referred to Thames Valley police because his diary revealed a series of parties at Chequers - the prime minister's country house in Buckinghamshire - during the pandemic.

Reacting to the news, Carol said: "What a shower, ey? What an absolute shower!" I can't believe they're our government. I mean, Boris Johnson is like a dose of diarrhoea that keeps on giving.

"Every single time you switch on the news, he's still there. How does this happen?"

It's not the first time that she has taken aim at the former Prime Minister. In June last year, she called for him to leave office in the wake of Oliver Dowden's resignation as the Conservative party's co-chair.

The Countdown legend, who lives in Clifton, tweeted: "I'm not a politically motivated woman, never have been. I've never belonged to a political party.

"I worked with David Blunkett (Labour) on the world's first online grooming law and with a previous Tory gov on Mathematics policy in schools. Both for the cause, not the politics."

She added: "As a free school meals kid from a single parent family, I've lived both real poverty & wealth and seen the inner workings of government at close hand.

"As a mild non-political person never have I been more actively disgusted by a prime minister than this one. JUST GO NOW BORIS."
