He called the former Countdown star a "failing B [list] celebrity" and claimed her criticism of the government was her "trying to look relevant".

Anderson also made light of Vorderman's age, saying "she should get her bus pass out and go and enjoy life" instead of attacking the government on Twitter.

Anderson then addressed Vorderman directly: "Look, if she’s watching tonight I say to Carol, if you’re so convinced that socialism works and we’re so nasty let’s see socialism in practice.

"You’ve got plenty of money, give it all away to the poor people in the country and prove that you are a proper caring socialist like you claim you are”.

He added: “But you’re not, you’re just a hypocrite who jumps on any bandwagon that comes along.”

Vorderman has recently been critical of Conservative politicians who do not highlight what political party they belong to in their Twitter bio.

She tweeted: "Lee Anderson, deputy chairman of the Conservative Party who doesn't tell us which party he is the 'deputy chairman' of," making light of Anderson's bio at the time which just said he was an MP for Ashfield.

In recent months, Vorderman has been a vocal critic of the government despite previously working as an education tsar for David Cameron.

Vorderman recently tweeted: “Of the last four Tory prime ministers ONLY Rishi Sunak mentions that he is Conservative. Liz Truss – no mention of Conservative. Boris Johnson – no mention of Conservative. Theresa May – no mention of Conservative. How ashamed of their party are they?”
