Carol Vorderman hits back at I'm A Celebrity critics who call her laugh 'annoying'

Carol Vorderman has defended herself from critics after being accused of being "annoying" on I'm A Celebrity... South Africa!

The 62-year-old took to an Instagram Live with her son, Cameron, where she defended her laugh after some viewers complained about how loud it was.

Sitting next to her son Cameron, she was talking about a previous episode of the I'm A Celeb spin-off when she said: "Some people go 'Carol Vorderman’s laugh!' It’s loud. OK, it’s always been loud."

She added: "It was loud on Countdown and it’s loud and everything. You can’t help how you laugh can you?"

The TV star was responding to viewers who have picked up on her unique laugh.

Carol was responding to the fact that viewers seem to have been taking great umbrage to her cackle.

One person said: "Is it just Me or does anyone else find Carol Vorderman's laugh annoying #ImACeleb."

As another commented: "Why is Carol Vorderman so bloody LOUD all the time? And that fake laugh - 'HA HA HA' at just about everything. Shut up woman."

"How do we vote Carol Vorderman and her fake laugh out of #ImACeleb," a third asked.

One asked: "Why does carol vorderman laugh like that? LMAO #imaceleb," with another saying: "Carol Vorderman is getting on my nerves with her false laugh. #ImACeleb South Africa."

While one viewer compared Carol's laugh to another well-known name: "Carol Vorderman’s laugh sounds just like Basil Brushes I swear."

Earlier in the Instagram Live, Carol asked her son: "Do you think I’ve got a wicked laugh Cam?"

He sarcastically answered: "No, definitely not!"

Ask she giggled, Carol responded: "And you don’t have a laugh like that but your sister Katie…

"And when the two of us, Katie and I start cackling away it’s bad isn’t it?"

Cameron gave a tongue in cheek response saying: "It’s very clear when you’re having a good time."

Carol is starring in the new version of I'm A Celeb alongside other jungle alumni.

She has been getting stuck in with her fellow campmates and has been embracing life in South Africa.

I'm A Celebrity South Africa continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
