A BBC Breakfast star was noticeably absent from the studio today, leaving viewers disappointed. Carol Kirkwood, who regularly hosts the weather forecast, was also missing during her breakfast segment yesterday. The absence was due to her surprise visit to the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom on behalf of the programme.
A trip to the Blackpool Tower
Carol Kirkwood made a special visit to Blackpool Tower ahead of the upcoming dance-offs on Strictly Come Dancing. The 61-year-old weather woman shared some exciting snapshots from her journey with fans. She posted a picture of the ornate ballroom, expressing her gratitude for the opportunity.
Reuniting with old friends
During her time in Blackpool, Carol Kirkwood had a chance to reunite with old friend Karen Hauer. The two reminisced about their time on Strictly Come Dancing together. Carol even jokingly called out judge Craig Revel Horwood for giving her a low score in the competition.
Taking a break for literary success
Carol Kirkwood also recently took some time away from presenting the weather on BBC Breakfast to celebrate the release of her third novel. Secrets of the Villa Amore has already become a Sunday Times bestseller. To mark the occasion, the TV host enjoyed a lavish lunch with her publisher.
