Carol Vorderman pays tribute to ‘truly fine’ Welsh politician as she encourages people to register to vote

In the wake of the partygate scandal at the heart of the government, presenter Carol Vorderman has never shied away from talking about how she feels. The 62-year-old former Countdown star regularly uses her social media platforms to discuss political matters.

In a less critical tweet on Tuesday, June 20, Carol paid tribute to late Welsh politician, Aneurin Bevan. In a bid to encourage people to vote, she shared a clip that was voiced by Michael Sheen, who is currently receiving acclaim for his performance in BBC drama Best Interests - read more about that here.

Writing on social media, Carol said: Our Welshman @michaelsheen reading the words of Aneurin Bevan, the truly fine politician who fought for and spearheaded the creation of the NHS. Thank you @glastonbury. Please please encourage all young people at Glastonbury to register for Voter ID.”
