Carol Kirkwood Bids Farewell to BBC Breakfast

On April 1st, Carol Kirkwood just wrapped up almost 30 years at BBC Breakfast, dropping

her final weather forecast on April 1st.

The 63-year-old Scottish presenter sat on the sofa with her co-hosts, getting emotional

as she signed off for good.

Earlier this week, she told viewers she's ready to flip the page and start a new chapter,

thanking everyone for letting her brighten their mornings.

No big plans laid out yet, but she's stepping away from the spotlight on her own terms.

A journalist from The Herald, who interviewed her this year, spilled on Kirkwood's real vibe,

she's as humble off-screen as she seems on air.

When complimented on being a daily staple for viewers, Carol chuckled bashfully and said

she just does her job the best she can.

Susie Swarbrick noted how folks obsess over her outfits online, but Carol brushed it

off, admitting she often wishes she'd ironed better or picked, smarter than I before.

Turns out, she's just like the rest of us.

And genuinely enjoying chats with fans.

Now with her BBC days behind her, Kirkwood and her husband Steve Randall are eyeing road

trips across France by camper van or car soaking up that.

Freedom before the next adventure unfolds.
