Carol Vorderman was "almost arrested" by Penny Lancaster during a rally yesterday.
The former Countdown presenter was taking part in a rally for the menopause mandate at the House of Parliament in London. While on her way there, she told her Instagram fans that she hoped to "pressurise the government" into doing more for women.
Standing on her soapbox, mic in hand, she asked a crowd what she had to do to get arrested. The 61-year-old said: "I'm a numbers geek and I want to know what I have to do today to get arrested?"
