After 28 years as a weather presenter, Carol Kirkwood has retired from the BBC and was sent off in a celebration featuring surprise celebrity cameos, a poem read by actor Brian Cox – and a reunion with the energetic dog that famously yanked her off screen in 2021.
The ever-upbeat Kirkwood, 63, hosted her final weather update on BBC Breakfast on Wednesday morning (1 April), much to the sadness of viewers and hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent . The weather presenter fought back tears while thanking viewers for “letting me be a part of your lives”.
