Carol Vorderman has hit back at fellow TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson after the former Top Gear host described her as 'awfully shouty' following a spree of political statements. Writing in a tabloid newspaper, Clarkson said Clifton resident Carol has "re-invented herself as a sort of anti-Tory, anti-sleaze warrior" adding that "she does seem to have become awfully shouty".
Vorders had recently criticised the Tory government on a range of issues - from the Michelle Mone scandal to her dislike of former health secretary Matt Hancock.
Hitting back at Jeremy, who runs a farm in the Cotswolds, Carol said on Twitter that he was "having a go at women again", a reference to the farmer's widely criticised comments about Meghan Markle. Something both he and The Sun later apologised over.

"Well well. The known defender of women's rights @JeremyClarkson has a go at a woman again," Carol posted, alongside an image of the article in question.
"Jeremy love, if I am disgusted at MPs fibbing & not turning up as they are meant to do, then I'll be "disgusted". Glad you used a nice photo tho or I might have been "mildly irritated".
In his column for The Sun, Clarkson wrote: "In recent weeks, Carol Vorderman seems to have re-invented herself as a sort of anti-Tory, anti-sleaze warrior, and that’s fine.
"But she does seem to have become awfully shouty. Having not got her way in a debate about the menopause this week, she said she had been “absolutely disgusted” by the attitude of two lady MPs.
"That’s a bit strong, because if you’re “absolutely disgusted” by someone who disagrees with you about the menopause, then how do you describe your feelings towards a Russian soldier who’s just lobbed a hand grenade into a school?
"Surely, that would be “absolutely disgusting”. Whereas someone who doesn’t share your view in a debate is “mildly irritating”."
