'I'm really happy to have the company of listeners all weekend'

Vanessa takes over Carol's Sunday show

EXPRESS columnist Vanessa Feltz is taking over Carol Vorderman's Sunday radio show on LBC on a permanent basis.

Former Countdown star Carol, 63, said she would not continue with her programme last month after suffering "burnout" from seven-day working weeks.

In a video on Instagram, Carol said she had a "tight feeling in my chest and I was utterly exhausted", but "after many scans and checks, we know that I don't have any underlying health issues whatsoever".

Spirited

Vanessa, 62, joined LBC in May and presents a Saturday afternoon show where she offers opinion and analysis - and delves into what matters to the public.
