CAROL Vorderman has finally revealed why she stopped being pals with Michelle Mone.
The 63-year-old secretly fell out with the scandal-hit lingerie tycoon and opened up about their relationship on Good Morning Britain today.
"I knew her many years ago for about 18 months and dropped her as a friend because I realised she just how much she lied," claimed Carol.
"This was way before she went into the political arena and we all know what happened there."
Host Adil Ray stepped in to say: "We should add Michelle Mone denies any allegations of corruption."

Carol hit back, insisting: "Yes of corruption but she's admitted obviously that her husband ran the PPE Medpro. That's really where it started."
The TV presenter has been repeatedly calling out under-fire Michelle in recent months.
The glamorous pair used to be close, regularly having "great fun" on nights out together before Michelle married billionaire Doug Barrowman.
Carol has taken a strong stance on allegations the Conservative peer made millions out of a government contract she was linked to during Covid.
The ex-Countdown host said previously: "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."
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 bra tycoon has admitted that she stood to benefit by about £60million from profits on personal protective equipment sold to the Government during Covid by a firm led by him.
She and her husband have had £75m of assets frozen or restrained after a court order as they face a National Crime Agency investigation into alleged fraud, with assets seized including a six-bedroom London townhouse, Isle of Man country estate and 15 bank accounts.
Carol and Michelle haven't been pictured together since 2012.
Michelle credited Carol for helping her during her divorce from her first husband, saying at the time: "Every day, I'm getting stronger and I've learned a lot.

"I spend a lot of time with my girlfriends - I have great fun with Carol Vorderman - and I have discovered a passion for karaoke."
