Former Countdown star Carol Vorderman has denounced years of “corruption, lies and gaslighting” by the Conservative Party following Labour's landslide General Election victory.

Vorderman appeared on Channel 4's live election coverage, celebrating after the exit poll forecasted a 170-seat majority for Labour across the UK.

Later that night, Rishi Sunak conceded defeat, confirming that Sir Keir Starmer will be the UK’s next prime minister.

On the broadcaster's show, Vorderman enthusiastically said, “Let’s get the party started, because they have gone,” referring to the Conservative Party.

“14 years of corruption, lies and gaslighting, you’ve got two ex-disgraced Tory chancellors in the studio.”

“You’ve got Nadine Dorries, a woman who barely turned up last year as an MP.”

“And everybody out there is thinking no more of this – no more of the lies, of the deceit, of the corruption, of the VIP PPE lane scandal, the betting scandal.”

“Who could ever have thought that a government would be as utterly, utterly banal and ridiculous as this one.”

Voderman also spoke on X formerly known as Twitter, Vorderman added: “Here’s to a new chapter.”

“Johnny Mercer gone. Jacob Rees Mogg gone. Gillian Keegan gone. Tories we don’t have to endure anymore.”

The TV star has been outspoken in her criticism of the Conservative Party, previously announcing her plans to publish a “part diary, part political manifesto” that will expose the “incompetence and lies” within the party.
