Carol Vorderman steps down from huge role after taking 'health scare as warning sign'

Carol Vorderman revealed she made the decision to step down from a huge role after taking her 'health scare as a warning sign'.

The former , announced she quit her after burning out. She had been working seven-day weeks 'for as long as she can remember' but ended up hospitalised due to exhaustion. Thankfully, after having scans, it was revealed she had no underlying issues.

She said she cut back her working hours to only weekdays after asking for advice from her friends and family. The decision meant she quit her LBC show - which is on Sundays. "After working 7-day weeks for as long as I can remember, I finally burned out just over 2 weeks ago and I ended up overnight in hospital," she said online.

"Luckily, after many scans and checks, we know that I don’t have any underlying health issues whatsoever. So, after a proper talking to from my family and my buddies, I’ve taken the health scare as a warning sign to slow down slightly and have decided to cut my work back to weekdays for now."

She said: "It pains me to have to do it, but I’ve decided not to carry on with my Sunday show on @LBC." Carol was 'fed up' but said the show was 'really lively and a total joy'. To concerned fans, she said it wasn't the end of the road for her career at LBC. Carol added: "The good news is that I’ll still be part of the LBC family (they’re a good family) from time to time – so stand by for more details.

"Meanwhile, I’ll continue to cause trouble and carry on tuning into LBC too. Thank you once again for your extraordinary support and to all my new friends at LBC – you’ve been amazing. I’ll be continuing to make a lot of mischief and call out corruption and wrongdoing – that isn’t stopping but for now an ever so slightly less frenetic chapter begins."

Fans rushed to the comment section to send her well wishes, with one reminding her: "Be kind to yourself. Rest up recharged and keep up the good work," and another posting: "Please take very good care of yourself , you are a national treasure , the Right wing wouldn’t agree but F**k them!"
