Comments made by Shaun Bailey directed at Carol Vorderman have stirred up a social media storm on X (formerly Twitter) – with the hashtag #SexistShaun now trending.

The former Tory mayoral candidate, who was given a life peerage by Boris Johnson in his 2022 resignation honours list, hit out at the former Countdown star on GB News – which is fast becoming the unofficial home of misogyny – saying:

“Carol Vorderman tries to be a serious political commentator. But if you look at her on Instagram it’s all pictures of her bum(s) and her boobs.

“She can’t be both.”

Tory Shaun Bailey is a MISOGYNIST #SexistShaun – the Jingle & Mingle Partygate apologist

"Carol Vorderman tries to be a serious political commentator. But if you look at her on instagram it's all pictures of her bum(s) and her boobs.
She can't be both." he grunted on GB News… pic.twitter.com/KA13Z16OD4

The comments have provoked a huge social media backlash, with calls for the Tory peer to be removed from the House of Lords voiced.

Here’s a pick of the reaction so far:

I wonder what makes someone less credible to speak about politics: being in visible possession of a bum and/or boobs, or being a failed Mayoral candidate who partied during lockdown? https://t.co/GnRnSXwFcL

Shaun Bailey is a sexist.

Shaun Bailey thinks physically confident women, aren't allowed opinions.#SexistShaun creeps on Carol Vorderman 's instagram then rages about her, like an angry incel.@ShaunBaileyUK represents the culture that endangers women.pic.twitter.com/jYDYjeoT1N

Tragic.

In 2024 Shaun Bailey can’t comprehend @carolvorders having views but not wearing sack cloth

The man who partied during lockdown.

You shouldn’t be a rule maker and rule breaker.

YOU can’t be both @ShaunBaileyUK #SexistShaun

“She can’t be both”

Shaun Bailey, partygate participant who was honoured for dishonour, spotted being sexist about Vorderman on GB NEWS.

Failed mayoral candidate.
Successful misogynist.

I think it’s time to get #SexistShaun trending, don’t you?

Shaun Bailey thinks you shouldn’t have political opinions if you have boobs and a bum…

Which is odd, given he’s a massive tit.
