From weather presenter to children's writing judge
Carol Kirkwood, the beloved BBC Breakfast star, has revealed an exciting new venture that ties in with her successful career as a best-selling author. The 61-year-old has just published her third book and will now be nurturing young talent as the judge of a children's writing competition.
A mainstay on BBC Breakfast
A mainstay on BBC Breakfast since 1997, Carol Kirkwood has become a household name with her cheerful weather forecasts. However, she has recently branched out into writing, with her books "Under a Green Moon" in 2021, "The Hotel on the Riviera" in 2022, and "Secrets of Villa Amore" this summer.
New role as a judge
After returning to the BBC Breakfast studio from an extended summer break, Carol is taking on another new role. Utilizing her writing expertise, she will be the judge of a Sussex-based writing competition for children.
"Donald the Cat's Great Adventure"
Children between the ages of seven and 16 can enter the competition by writing a short story with the theme "Donald the Cat's Great Adventure."
Supporting a good cause
The competition costs £2 to enter, and the fee will go to a local animal charity called Wadars, which cares for rescue animals. The funds raised will directly support the charity's efforts in looking after the animals and covering operational costs for its wildlife helpline and mobile rescue service.
Carol's excitement and dedication
Thrilled about her new role, Carol expressed her belief in the importance of nurturing children's creativity and encouraged them to participate in the competition. She will personally read and choose her three favorite submissions, each of which will receive prizes. The competition closes on November 12 at 6pm.
Fans and co-hosts impressed
Carol's loyal fan base is buzzing with excitement over her new role, with one even commenting on social media, "Are there no ends to your talents?" Meanwhile, Carol will continue presenting the weather on BBC Breakfast alongside her new responsibilities.
This morning, Carol presented the weather alongside Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt, who hosted the breakfast show. Charlie, 61, was in awe of Carol's weather presentation before jokingly mentioning the sheer amount of weather she had to cover. Naga, 48, added a playful comment, urging Carol to "try harder" to impress her next time.
With her new role as a children's writing competition judge and her ongoing dedication to weather presenting, Carol Kirkwood is using her skills and talents to make a difference.
