Carol Vorderman has been supported by her fans after reflecting on the abuse she has come in for after calling out Jeremy Clarkson for his tabloid attack on Meghan Markle.
Former Countdown star Carol voiced her opposition to the TV personality’s column on Twitter over the weekend.
The 62-year-old ex Top Gear host had written about his “hate” for the royal.
He also told readers of The Sun he ‘dreams’ about Prince Harry‘s wife being “made to parade naked through the streets”.
Carol slammed his approach as unacceptable – and denied Clarkson’s claims his views are representative of what others think.
However, despite coming in for abuse herself, Carol has insisted she won’t let the matter rest.

Telly fave Carol tweeted about her determination on Tuesday (December 20) morning as she quote-tweeted a letter of complaint from MP John Nicolson to the Chief Executive of ITV.
Carol added: “The Clarkson Effect.
“I’ve received a lot of abuse obvs, but it’s like watching the last death throes of a dinosaur age.
Sad souls who are angry at new thought, at equality, at kindness.
“Sad souls who are angry at new thought, at equality, at kindness.
“BUT this chapter has also brought the calm, normally silent, people together. We fight on.”
Carol hits back at trolls
And today (Wednesday December 21) Carol shared another message from an MP she also relates to.
She quote-tweeted a screenshot shared by Caroline Nokes concerning profane and violent abuse sent to her as private messages.
Carol reacted: “TROLLS. Had to retweet this as most of my trolls are similar… terrible spellers!
“They also appear to be without friends, generally following five times more accounts than they have followers of their own.
“They aren’t growing in number. They’re just noisy.”
Echoing her tweet from yesterday, Carol added: “We fight on.”
