Edwina Currie hits out at Carol Vorderman
Edwina Currie joined GB News host Dan Wootton and discussed her dislike of Carol Vorderman, branding her "vicious" and "nasty".
When discussing what she thought of Carol's passionate political viewers, Edwina exclaimed: "I do have a problem with Carol.
"One is that the way in which she puts her point of view is really quite vicious. Anybody that has been in public life knows that, well you can have an argument about how to do things, about policy.
"But you might actually show some respect to the other person as that point of view may be as valid as yours and actually in the long run they may turn out to be right.
"They may well turn out to be wrong, so you try and treat people with some respect, and you try and show other people how to behave and she is doing exactly the opposite.
"Much of what she is saying is so unpleasant, so nasty, and so directed at the individual and not at the policy you think 'Oh come on your going overboard'."
Edwina continued: "She used to be a Tory, she used to be a great pal of David Cameron and I don't remember her being so very nasty then about the Labour party and the opposition.
"But the other thing is, as you say, she currently has a live presentation on our national taxpayer-funded broadcaster, we don't have any choice.
"If we are going to listen to the BBC at all we don't have any choice about paying the licence fee.

"In fact, we could be in deep deep trouble if we don't pay for the licence fee until fairly recently you could find yourself going to jail and that's not right."
Viewers of the show were left divided over some of Edwina's comments towards Carol and took to their Twitter accounts.
Disagreeing with Edwina, @notJoth noted: "Vorderman is spot on though and the Tories don’t like it. Simple."
@sthelenscymro added: "Isn’t Edwina doing the same? Oh the irony."
@Angeslillywhite commented: "Carol simply tells the truth and you don't like it." (sic)
Agreeing with Edwina, @jude2803 said: "She’s got that spot on," as @TinyTina penned: "Edwina speaking some sense for once, thank you very much." (sic)
Saying impartial, @perfwithsurf noted: "Don't particularly like either of them. Both from the past and should stay there." (sic)
