BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood confuses viewers after weather map background blunder

Carol Kirkwood left BBC Breakfast viewers confused as her weather segment took an unexpected turn.

The Scots broadcaster appeared alongside hosts Jon Kay and Nina Warhurst to deliver Tuesday morning's weather update but left viewers at home baffled. Carol, 60, issued today's weather bulletin but to the confusion of viewers at home, she was standing in front of a map of Spain instead of the UK.

She said: "Good morning, it's a cold and frosty start to the day for many of us today. But a fair bit of sunshine away from the north and west where we've got thicker cloud and some rain."

She continued: "That rain moving a little further southwards and eastwards tomorrow and then the next day but as we head into the Bank Holiday weekend for many it will be settled until when more of us will see some rain.

"I'll have all the details later in the programme."

Carol spoke to Jon and Nina on BBC Breakfast (BBC)

Viewers at home took to social media to share their confusion at Carol's accidental blunder, as one wrote: "Carol, going to Spain for your holidays? Weather map boo-boo!"

"Carol discussing the UK weather with a graphic of Spain behind her ???," said another viewer. "Does she know that's the not the United Kingdom behind her," questioned someone else.

One person simply said: "Oh dear."

Before her accidental weather mix-up, Carol took aim at BBC co-host Nina as she cheekily joked she "doesn't get out much". Nina, who recently announced her pregnancy, gushed over the Scots weather star and recalled their first meeting.

Nina and co-host Jon Kay reflected on their first meeting with Carol after hearing how Harry Garside met his hero Everton footballer Jordan Pickford over the weekend.

Nina teased: “I was giddy the first time I met Carol in real life” as Jon agreed: “So was I." Carol then cheekily replied: “I don’t think you two get out much, bless you. Good morning everybody.”
