Carol Vorderman issues warning as she hits out at 'pathetic' impostor

Carol Vorderman has issued a scam warning on Instagram.

The 61-year-old has regularly been forced to warn followers to be vigilant of people impersonating her. The former Countdown presenter has taken to the social media platform today to issue a fresh alert after she discovered another fake account.

She said: "Crazily this imposter is pretending to want information about impostors. Jeez. Here's the thing. This account @carolvorders and my van account @vordervan are the ONLY ACCOUNTS I HAVE.

"If you get any message from any other account pretending to be me. It isn't me. I am only on here and @vordervan. And a message to ALL the fake account pretenders.....get a life and stop with this obsession. It's pathetic."

Carol's followers flooded the comments to offer messages of support after the update.

Andi Oliver posted: "I mean?? What the hell is WRONG with these people?! Get a life indeed! Sending love darling woman"

Sandra added: "So shocking Carol. These impostors should do one."

Paula said: "It’s crazy Instagram don’t filter all these I’ve had it with other stars."

Andrew messaged: "Well said… if they concentrated on leading their own real lives, they’d find greater happiness than leeching through others."
