Carol Vorderman said ministers "don't give a stuff" about the menopause after she read heart-wrenching testimony from women suffering in the work place.
The Countdown presenter, 62, a patron for campaign group Menopause Mandate, relayed experiences from working class women on how they had been treated by employers, as she attended a Women and Equalities Committee hearing.
One women, who works in the care sector said at one point it "all got too much" and she contemplated taking her life, while another told how she was forced to resign from a job she loved over her symptoms, such as brain fog, with her employer claiming she was incapable of doing her job.
