The former Countdown presenter participated in the ITV game show in January 2022, joining host Bradley Walsh for a celebrity edition of the fast-paced quiz.

Shortly after the episode was broadcast, 'The Beast' Mark Labbett tweeted, "I don't know what is more impressive about @carolvorders, her intellect or her more tangible assets #superstar #BeatTheChasers." The post was quickly met by criticism from fans, some of whom claimed that The Beast's remarks on Vorderman's body was unacceptable. "Really? This is 2022 not 1972! A bit creepy and sexist," one person replied, while another unimpressed person called Labbett's tweet "inappropriate."

Vorderman addressed the comment herself, jokingly replying, "You beast you..." beneath to Labbett's post. The 63-year-old jumped to the defence of the professional quizzer again in a separate post, writing, "Well the Beast and I are having a bit of a laugh over this as he is a good buddy of mine." She also explained that humour is a big part of their friendship, adding, "We always take the mick out of each){kind=link}
