Carol’s appearance comes after she took a savage swipe at disgraced peer Michelle Mone, who is under severe pressure to pay back £122million she made on useless PPE during the pandemic.
The pair used to be close friends but their relationship collapsed and turned into arguably Britain’s bitterest celebrity feud.
Former Countdown star Carol, a Labour supporter, has been vocal in criticising the Tory peer over allegations relating to government PPE contracts during Covid.
And after Mone’s crushing defeat in the High Court yesterday, Ms Vorderman has been quick to put the boot in, declaring: ‘Yes at last’.
Calling for her former friend to be kicked out of the House of Lords, she said: ‘The story is far from over. I’m so glad I fought against PPE corruption but the fight goes on’.
Her Instagram post was celebrated by friends including Alan Carr, Mary Portas and Russell T Davies.

Carol added that she had done ‘all I could’ to help journalists investigating the PPE scandal that has shamed Mone and her husband Doug Barrowman.
‘Finally the company Mone put forward to the Tory VIP PPE LANE has been found to owe US £122million by supplying unusable and non sterile gowns‘, she said.
‘For a number of years some brilliant journalists and organisations have fought to keep this disgraceful Michelle Mone story in the headlines. I did all I could to help’, she said.
‘For that action I was threatened, lied about, was sacked from my BBC radio job as I refused to back down criticising her and the Tories.
‘You see I knew Mone for about a year around 2011/12 time and realised that there was very little she wouldn’t lie about so I quietly dropped her at that time.’
