This Morning fans thrilled as Carol Vorderman 'kicks off'

This Morning guest Carol Vorderman has been praised by viewers after launching into a fiery rant during Friday's show.

The daytime programme was back for its final instalment of the week, hosted by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary. As ever they discussed the topics of the day and the latest news.

One segment saw the presenters joined in the studio by regular guest Carol, along with Gyles Brandreth.

They talked about Sir Rod Stewart resorting to calling in to Sky News on Thursday, to slam the Government, and to offer money for people's scans, after becoming so disappointed at the state of the NHS. And it wasn't long before Carol launched into a rant of her own.

She said: "It's just sad, terribly sad, they knew this was coming [after the pandemic]." Alison replied: "It's the not knowing, isn't it? A scan can at least show you where we're at, but to not have that".

Gyles said: "£15 billion was wasted on PPE, how many scans would that buy?"

Carol said: "Fifty contracts were given and they were all recommended by Tories. We all know it's a scandal." Becoming more passionate, she then added: "Rishi Sunak said he has put all his assets in a blind trust.

"He has refused to say whether he holds assets in Moderna. That man came out in front of 10 Downing Street, as our Prime Minister, and said 'accountability, transparency', all of this. If you are true to your word, Rishi Sunak, tell us."

Fans watching at home were loving Carol's outburst. Taking to Twitter, Emma said: "Carol is kicking off at the Tories and I'm here for it".

Sarah said: "Vorders going to town on Tory Scandal this morning", while Vealey said: "@carolvorders doing an amazing job putting the government to shame on #ThisMorning about the £15bn of unused PPE… Go on Carol!"

Graham said: "Well done Carol, that was heroic!" and Maria said: "Good for you for calling them out".
