Carol Kirkwood: BBC weather replacement tells her ‘get in here’ amid body clock complaint

Carol Kirkwood, 56, regularly delivers the latest weather forecasts on BBC Breakfast but was noticeably absent from today’s show. The meteorologist took to Twitter this morning and revealed her body clock was on full alert as she admitted she’d “been awake for hours” despite not being in work, before Matt Taylor urged her to join him. The small-screen star had initially taken to the micro-blogging site and praised the teachers within the Department of Education for receiving their Gold Awards at Buckingham Palace, before her colleague cheekily jibed the star. In view of her 155,000 followers, she wrote: “Congratulations to ALL the amazing @DofE Gold Award winners at Buckingham Palace yesterday. Such a joy to meet you (and your parents and teachers). Honoured to be invited along.”

The tweet prompted Matt to reply, saying: “You’re up!!! Get in here!!!”

Carol was tickled by the comment, as she responded: “I want to be fast asleep… but my body clock is telling me otherwise! Been awake for hours!”

The TV veteran is currently off for the rest of the week from her weather duties as Matt steps in until Bank Holiday Money.

He is also a regular weather forecaster on BBC Breakfast, mainly at the weekends and often forecasts for Radio 4’s Today.

Speaking on the show, Matt told viewers they had much to look forward to as much of the UK continues to bask in warm weather.

He said: “Another fine spring day out there for many of you. A little bit on the fresh side for one or two this morning.

Following the aftermath, she told her social media users: “Ouch! Just bit my tongue during that live headline!!”

Her fans appeared concerned with one person writing: “Eek, hope you’re okay x.”

Another commented: “Ouch! Felt that myself Carol xx.”

A third fan said: “Poor you x.”

BBC Breakfast continues tomorrow on BBC One at 6.00am.
