Weather presenter Carol Kirkwood found herself in the spotlight on Wednesday (March 8) after making an on-air blunder at the end of her report. The BBC Breakfast regular was updating viewers on the UK's cold snap and the snowfall parts of the country had experienced on Tuesday night, as well as warnings of bad weather to come.
After finishing the forecast, Carol suffered a technical malfunction. Her colleagues Jon Kay and Nina Warhurst were quick to tease her despite the weather presenter being unable to hear them.
Nina began with a question for 60-year-old Carol, according to the Express. She said: "So it looks beautiful, but as you say, Carol, it's important to be careful." However, the segment took an unexpected turn when Carol grabbed her earpiece and explained it had stopped working. "I'm so sorry, I can't hear you... I can see you are talking."

"Oh that's alright," Nina replied as she tried to continue with the news programme. However, Jon made a joke about the blip, telling his co-host: "I might get one of those as well." Nina quipped back: "I thought you always have one on this side of your head when I am talking to you".
Carol disappeared from the screen, with Jon joking: "Carol's gone, she's gone. She's got no idea. We can just say what we like."
The pair chuckled as they discussed some of the frosty photographs viewers had sent in following a night of snowfall.
Elsewhere on the show, Carol explained how Tuesday night was the coldest night of the year so far, with temperatures plummeting to -15C in some places. Parts of Nottingham city and county have witnessed snow flurries - and more is expected.
