MICHELLE Mone has hit back at Carol Vorderman after the presenter reignited their feud.
Carol, 62, has had her say on lingerie tycoon Michelle, 51, in recent months and took another swipe today on This Morning.

Responding, a source close to Baroness Michelle said: “I really don’t understand why Carol has started this attack.”
They added to the MailOnline: “What are the reasons – a hunger for publicity, or maybe her coming to the end of her TV career?”
The glamorous pair used to be close, regularly having “great fun” on nights out together before Michelle married billionaire Doug Barrowman.
The Sun revealed last month that Carol dropped Michelle as a pal “some time ago” and the pair have had no contact since.
Carol said on This Morning: “I cannot talk about useless PPE without also talking about Michelle Mone who was brought into the House of Lords, as a baroness, by David Cameron.
“We know she has taken leave of absence without losing the Tory whip to start with because she was actively involved, as it goes, with a company called PPE Medpro.”

Carol then admitted her connection to Michelle – with a vicious take-down of her former close pal.
She said: “Now Michelle Mone, I knew, many years ago and then dropped her like a stone as soon as I realised what kind of person she was.”
Carol then turned to look at the camera directly, holding both hands up, as she strongly added: “Sue me, Michelle.”
This Morning host Alison Hammond stepped in to interrupt Carol’s rant.
She said: “Carol, can I just say she’s not here to defend herself.”
Carol continued: “No she’s not here to defend herself but I’m repeating what has been said in the press and what has proven to be true.”
The presenter has taken a strong stance on allegations Conservative peer Michelle made millions out of a government contract she was linked to during Covid.
The ex-Countdown host has even claimed her former friend should be “slammed in jail where she belongs”.
Michelle is accused of “extraordinarily aggressive” lobbying to award PPE Medpro the £200million contract to produce medical gowns and face masks during the pandemic.
The businesswoman denies that she or her husband profited from the contracts.
