BBC Breakfast’s Sally Nugent forced to apologise to Carol Kirkwood after getting ‘distracted’ in middle of live report
BBC Breakfast’s Sally Nugent was forced to apologise to Carol Kirkwood after getting ‘distracted’ in the middle of a live report.
Yesterday, fans of the show were delighted when Carol, 61, returned after taking a break from the BBC programme.
The weather lady was back again today alongside Sally and her co-host Jon Kay.
Before one of Carol’s forecasts, Jon revealed celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall would be joining them in the studio with some treats as he promoted his new diet.
But Sally, 52, replied: “Treats made out of vegetables? There’s no chocolate in there, is there?”
Jon, 54, said: “Carol’s got the weather in the meantime. Is that a treat, Carol?”
Carol wasn’t so sure, as she revealed many parts of the UK could expect rain showers over the next few days.
As her forecast came to a close, Sally was forced to apologise as she said: “Carol thank you very much indeed. Sorry we’re a tiny bit distracted because we’re talking about food.”
The camera came back to the journalists in the studio, and they had been joined by Hugh and his treats.
Jon said: “We’ve got cake! The cake has arrived on the table!”
However, Carol took it all in her stride and bared no grudge against her co-stars for not concentrating on her report.
Yesterday, Carol was praised for her “Old Hollywood Glamour” look on BBC Breakfast.
The star wore a blush pink figure-hugging skirt and matching silky top.
One fan noted: “#BBCBreakfast Carol is looking very Jayne Mansfield this morning..”
A second viewer gushed: “Accidentally tuned into #BBCBreakfast this morning, Carol Kirkwood looks good doesn’t she!! #BBCBreakfast
A third added: “Loved seeing Lorraine Kelly and Strictly win at the @BAFTA last night. Even better waking up to a glamorous Carol Kirkwood this morning! Old Hollywood comes to mind. #BBCBreakfast.”
