Carol Vorderman has revealed she faced abuse after tearing Jeremy Clarkson to shreds for his "hateful" comments about Meghan Markle in a column for The Sun. The Welsh presenter has dubbed the opposition she's faced as "The Clarkson Effect" adding: "I've received a lot of abuse obvs, but it's like watching the last death throes of a dinosaur age."
In the article, which has since been removed from the publication's website, the former Top Gear host wrote of the Duchess of Sussex, who has recently released a 'tell-all' documentary on Netflix with her husband the Duke of Sussex: "I hate her. Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her on a cellular level," before adding that he wanted to make her "parade naked through the streets". He has since said he was “horrified to have caused so much hurt” with his comments.
Carol has now published a letter from MP John Nicolson that he sent to the chief executive of ITV, Dame Carolyn McCall, imploring that Clarkson should "never appear on our television screens again", deeming it "inappropriate" for him to be given the role of presenter by any public service broadcaster.
