CAROL VORDERMAN hit out at a person pretending to be her after a loyal Twitter follower pointed out the "imposter" was posing as the Countdown star on the social networking website.
Lorraine: Carol Vorderman jokes she ‘slept with Adam Thomas’
Carol Vorderman did not mince her words when it was brought to her attention someone had created a fake Twitter page using her name and information.
The 57-year-old former Countdown star was notified by a fan, who was followed by the fake user.
Sending the TV favourite a message, the admirer wrote: “Hey Carol, you well I hope. Meet my latest follower.”
Later, they added: “Me again, I have reported the account as fake. The sad imposter blocked me cause I brought them to your attention.
It’s being closed down as passing off as me
“So I have now brought them to the attention of @TwitterSupport too. There’s only ONE Vivacious Vorders.”
Thanking the commentator for their efforts, Carol simply said: “Thank you xx.”
Then, she added: “It’s being closed down as [they’re] passing off as me.”
It comes after Carol appeared to back I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2018 contestant Emily Atack to win the competition.
The TV personality had a stint in the jungle back in 2016, finishing in eighth place on the ITV reality show.
On Twitter, the mother-of-two revealed she would be tuning in this series as she chatted to Emily’s mother Kate Robbins, 56.
“Sending love @katerobbins from the other side of the world,” she shared, in view of her 384,000 followers.
“Oh hang on, not THAT other side, but the other-other side (how many are there?),” she continued.
“Have a great time with the @imacelebrity tribe and your TOP girl @EmAtack.”
Kate thanked Carol for her message, while Emily’s official account also replied to the mathematician, saying: “Sending LOVE to Queen Carol for the support.”
Seemingly backing 28-year-old, Emily, to be crowned queen of the jungle, Carol tweeted: “Go girl @EmAtack.”
Last month, Carol joked about “sleeping” with her former campmate Adam Thomas, 30, while covering for Lorraine Kelly, 58.
Introducing the ex-Emmerdale star, she said: “Here now is Adam Thomas, he’s preparing to make a stage debut in Nativity! The Musical.
“But of course, I know him well because we did sleep together for two weeks,” she said, with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
The twosome went on to reminisce about their time in the jungle, with Carol telling Adam she “misses” it.
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight on ITV at 9pm.
