News about Carol Kirkwood

BBC Breakfast star Carol Kirkwood looked worlds away from her current self in an unearthed eighties throwback snap.   The Scottish weather presenter, 62, was unrecognisable in her younger years, with dark brunette locks instead of her usual blonde tresses.  She accessorised with a red and white headband to pull her hair back into an updo and showcased her natural beauty with a minimal face of makeup.

Carol Kirkwood gasped that she was 'outraged' after a playful swipe from Naga Munchetty live on air on BBC Breakfast during Thursday's show. The pair have worked together on the morning programme for years and are known for their moments of banter during Carol's weather segment.

BBC Breakfast underwent yet another hosting shake-up on Wednesday as a show regular was missing from screens for the second day in a row, with no explanation. Twice in one week, the beloved host has been notably absent from the programme, with a familiar face stepping in.

BBC Breakfast underwent another hosting shake-up as a beloved presenter was notably absent from the show, with a familiar face stepping in. It comes as the latest in a string of presenter switches, which saw Sally be replaced by Sarah Campbell multiple times in recent months.

The app and website also showed that Nottingham was going through an extreme heatwave with temperatures of 404C. The BBC has apologised to viewers and said the issue is with its third-party forecast provider, DTN. DTN is aware of the problem, but currently has no idea when it will be rectified.

A BBC Breakfast weather presenter was forced to insist a hurricane was not battering Britain after the channel's app showed 13,500mph winds in London. Presenter Carol Kirkwood addressed the concerns on the show this morning after anchor Naga Munchetty queried the figure. The app also showed that Nottingham was going through an extreme heatwave with temperatures of 404C. Kirkwood said an error within the app had caused the shocking number and that the BBC was trying to fix the issue. She said: 'We're having a technical glitch at the moment.'

BBC Breakfast underwent another host shakeup as two stars were missing from Wednesday morning's installment.

During Wednesday's instalment of the BBC programme show regulars Carol Kirkwood, 62, and Sally Nugent, 53, were nowhere to be seen.  Instead, Jon Kay took on co-hosting duties alongside Nina Warhurst who stepped in to deliver today's latest headlines. 

BBC Breakfast fans swooned over 'absolutely gorgeous' Carol Kirkwood as she shrugged off her illness to present the weather on Wednesday's programme. The TV legend, 62, looked in high spirits as she donned a stunning floral blue and white maxi dress on the breakfast show to bring the nation her daily report.

Fans have recently noticed Carol, 62, struggling with a hoarse voice and cough while presenting the weather.

BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood has taken a shock swipe at her ex husband in a rare comment about the former relationship. The weather presenter, 62, tied the knot at Cliveden House last December with her second husband Steve Randall, 49, - who is 13 years her junior. She was previously married to Northern Irish cricketer and hockey player Jimmy Kirkwood from 1990 to 2008 when they separated.

BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood swiped 'I'm really disappointed' over Strictly Come Dancing's ongoing scandal on Thursday and admitted that she no longer watches the show. In recent weeks, Strictly has been embroiled in accusations about their professional dancers bullying and abusing their celebrity partners. The scandal erupted in January when actress Amanda Abbington accused her Strictly partner Giovanni Pernice of abuse after she unexpectedly quit the programme just five weeks in. Then, in July, it emerged that Graziano Di Prima had been sacked from Strictly for 'kicking' his partner, Love Island star Zara McDermott. Scottish meteorologist Carol, 62, appeared on BBC reality show Strictly Come Dancing in 2015, and was partnered with Pasha Kovalev.

BBC Breakfast saw two presenters replaced in yet another hosting shake-up - but it was 'breathtaking' Carol Kirkwood who stole the show in a figure-hugging blue dress. The programme's Monday to Wednesday presenters John Kay and Sally Nugent were nowhere to be found on Tuesday, as the breakfast show continues making changes for the Olympics. Instead, Ben Thompson and Sarah Thompson took the helm on the red sofa and read Tuesday's top stories. But, they were shown up by weatherwoman Carol who looked incredible in a fitted blue dress with mid-length sleeves. Viewers descended on X, formerly Twitter , to compliment Carol's look, gushing: 'Breathtaking in blue. Wow.'

Carol Kirkwood suffered a wardrobe malfunction as she presented the BBC Breakfast show on Friday morning. The meteorologist, 62, looked incredibly glamorous in a stylish leopard print dress as she broadcaster the weather.

My favourite drink as a child was cola. Not the proper stuff, but a knock-off version made from my dad Malcolm's soda machine. It would probably taste revolting to me now, but as a child of eight or nine growing up in the Scottish Highlands, it was the height of luxury. We weren't allowed it most of the time - it was a treat for Sundays with our roast dinner.

She is known for bringing a ray of sunshine to even the gloomiest weather forecast. But BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood has joked that she is often stopped by members of the public keen to blame her for the miserable British weather.

Those who visited Tiny Toes nursery in Cheadle Hulme were no doubt reassured by the 'safe, stimulating and, above all, caring environment' promised by the Cheshire nursery's website; not to mention that its grandly titled 'Creator of Early Years Education' had been awarded a 'knighthood for services to education in France'. Then there was the fact that Tiny Toes clients included a BBC journalist whose young son attended the nursery. A video filmed at the BBC Breakfast studio in Manchester and proudly posted on the nursery website in 2019 showed presenters including Carol Kirkwood, Nina Warhurst and Ben Thompson, greeting the Tiny Toes children from the famous sofa with 'a special hello' to camera. Another happy parent, writing a glowing review, thanked the nursery's 59-year-old owner, former amateur racing driver Franck Pelle (left-right), for his 'sales pitch' which 'persuaded us', adding that it was 'a great decision' to send their daughter there. But this week, as one of Mr Pelle's most senior members of staff (bottom right) was jailed for 14 years for the manslaughter of a baby girl (right) in his nursery's care, neither he nor his 66-year-old wife Karen (left), a co-owner of the business, were anywhere to be seen or heard.

During Thursday's BBC Breakfast, Naga Munchetty took a shot at her co-star Carol Kirkwood. Since Carol made an uncomfortable blunder, the newsreader, 49, said the meteorologist, 61, was "of no importance." She handed over to Naga and Ben Thompson in the studio after wrapping her weather segment but seemed to have forgotten Naga's name.

While the weather soars to 16C (61F) on Thursday, it could still be the middle of winter, the UK will be warmer than Italy and France later this week. The Met Office predicts that the Azores' winds will rise and welcome the Midlands and South East England, especially in the Midlands and South East England. On Thursday, Greater London is forecast to be the warmest area of the UK, with temperatures expected to soar above those in Milan at 13C (55F) and Nice at 15C (59F). The capital will also benefit from the same 16C heat as Menorca, Barcelona, Madrid, and Rome, and it will be well above the average London February maximum of 9C (48F). Parts of the UK have been enjoying the sunshine for the first week in recent weeks, with families on half-term holidays relishing the sunshine yesterday.

The host, 41, worked with Carol at BBC Breakfast, but she wasn't one of the 2,000 guests at Carol and her husband Steve Randall's wedding receptions. The weather lady, 61, wanted a private wedding and kept the guest list minimal.

Carol Kirkwood of BBC Breakfast mocked her co-star Jon Kay's on-air blunder on Tuesday by wearing a skin-tight leather skirt. The meteorologist, 61, posed for a picture, styling the fitted midi number with a leopard print blouse. It came in reaction to Jon's earlier accidental slip up in which he told viewers that Carol will be here with the 'newest leather.'

When she returned to the BBC Breakfast studio this morning, Carol Kirkwood praised her 'blissful' Christmas wedding to. The weather announcer, who married her marathon-running police officer husband Steve Randall the day before Boxing Day, has flooded praise for her 'fabulous' nuptials. As she seemed in a good mood going back to work, the 61-year-old said this morning that she would not change a single thing about the day and that it was "absolutely flawless." After being together for two-and-a-half years, she married her 48-year-old beau at an intimate and private celebration at Cliveden House in Buckinghamshire on December 27. Carol is unsure about her new husband, revealing that he leaves her romantic love notes and cups of tea at 2.45 a.m. before going to work and saying, 'he's incredibly thoughtful and romantic, as well as being incredibly generous and romantic.'

George Cowling (inset) issued the BBC's first televised weather forecast seven years ago today, with the support of charcoal and charts drawn by hand. He hoped for rain for the chilly January day in 1954, having traveled by train. Since then, the United States has seen a variety of forecasters bring good and bad weather news into their homes, with occasional hiccup along the way. Perhaps more famously, Michael Fish (left), told viewers in October 1987 that there would not be a hurricane, just hours before the worst storm since 1803 pounded into Britain and claimed 18 people. There have been instances where symbols aren't compatible with the old physical charts, fits of the giggles, and technical hitsches. King Charles (bottom right) - then Prince of Wales - delighted viewers when he announced the weather during a visit to BBC Scotland's headquarters in 2012. The new generation of forecasters, including Carol Kirkwood (top right) and Tomasz Schafernaker, have made a name for themselves, with both appearing on Strictly Come Dancing. Kirkwood was memorably pulled to the ground by a guide dog live on air, and she was also depicted with the dignity of seeing a Labrador wailt behind her as she approached from a Sussex beach on another occasion.

And lo, on the ninth day of a positive lateral flow, I took a test and was negative, and I was glad to go to the store to buy some cheese at last. All things being said, it hasn't been a vintage Christmas. We were unable to visit my mother the first week due to a testing positive for Covid, but instead we were confined to barracks, both my husband and I were suffering from the symptoms. On Boxing Day, I finally got it together enough to make a ham with potatoes and whip up a cauliflower cheese, but I was so ill from the effort that I could barely eat it. Presents were postponed until the 27th of October. Our halls have been decorated not with boughs of holly but with boxes of tissues and bottles of cough medicine.
