Carol Kirkwood Presents Final BBC Breakfast Weather Forecast: 'What's a Lie-in? I've No Idea'

On Wednesday, Carol Kirkwood delivered her final weather forecast on BBC Breakfast, concluding a near three-decade career at the broadcaster.
Kirkwood announced her departure earlier this year, citing her desire to spend more time with husband Steve Randall, whom she married in 2023.
RHS director Tim Upson surprised her during a final broadcast from RHS Wisley by renaming the official Met Office weather station the 'Carol Kirkwood Weather Site'.
Presenters Sally Nugent and Jon Kay broke into applause, describing her final forecast as 'perfect,' while Kirkwood admitted she felt 'in denial' about leaving.
Regarding her future plans, Kirkwood joked: 'Then, freedom! That alarm clock, straight out!' as she prepares for life beyond early morning shifts.
