Carol Vorderman has sparked backlash as she hit out at Nigel Farage in her Easter Sunday message to her fans on Instagram. She said: "Happy yeasting, you beautiful people. The Easter Bunny has arrived with some good news because Nigel Farage, the lying charlatan who we know and loathe, is going down, down, down in the latest polls. One of the polls out this morning put reform right down at 21%.

"In fact, when you look at the detail, the Green Party is nudging slightly ahead of Reform. But the the great irony of this poll is that it has been undertaken by a famous right-winger, Michael Ashcroft, who has written many books with Isabel Oakshot. If you don't know who she is, she's the blonde girlfriend of Richard Tice, Farage's deputy, and she's the one who scarpered off to Dubai saying, 'oh, oh, the VAT on private schooling is too much for me'.

"A second poll out today, which has been conducted by More In Common up in Scotland, shows Reform diving there, too. They're now well below Labour in the polls, SMP way out ahead. And now Reform are in third place. It's such a tough week for Nigel. So, happy Easter bunnies. Reform is on its way out.

GB News host Alex Armstrong shared the post on Instagram, saying: "Imagine this being your Easter Sunday message to your followers. Carol Vorderman seemingly has a very unhealthy obsession with Nigel Farage…"

Fans replied: "She’s got Trump derangement syndrome , it’s obviously contagious."

Another added: "Something seriously wrong with her, she’s constantly after attention from the world of the virtual signalers - an awful person."

A third chimed in: "She’s a fabulous advert for Reform, she’s the female equivalent of Ed Davey."
