She added: "We are getting more security for Countdown."

Riley, who has appeared on the Channel 4 daytime programme since 2009, said she believes she is a "target" for speaking up against anti-Semitism, and that she does not "take it lightly".

Riley has previously stated that she has no political allegiance, and is not a Conservative, although she claims she has been labelled a Tory by supporters of Corbyn.

However, she told the newspaper that she would not vote for Labour now, as she believes the party is "actively encouraging the abuse of people who are standing up to this".
