This Morning's Alison Hammond interrupts in as Carol Vorderman lets rip

Carol Vorderman didn't hold back when she appeared on ITV'S This Morning. The TV personality made a series of statements when appearing on the show on Friday. The former Countdown star went on a rant about her former pal Michelle Mone when she appeared on the View' segment panel alongside Gyles Brandreth.

The panel was discussing the news headlines in the show's daily segment, with Rod Stewart, who hit the headlines after phoning into a TV station and revealing he's abandoned his "long time" support for the Tories, among the topics being discussed., M.E.N reports.

This led Carol to rant: "It's just sad, terribly sad, they knew this was coming [after the pandemic]." Alison replied: "It's the not knowing, isn't it? A scan can at least show you where we're at, but to not have that". Gyles interjected: "£15 billion was wasted on PPE, how many scans would that buy?"
