Privacy NoticeBBC Breakfast fans were treated to a brave performance from weather presenter Carol Kirkwood this week, despite her struggling with a hoarse voice during the live broadcast. Carol’s voice wavered as she tried valiantly to present the weather forecast, before having to give in when discussing the day’s temperatures. The show’s hosts Sally Nugent and Jon Kay expressed their concern for Carol, with Sally telling her, “Your voice nearly lasted to the very end there, Carol, well done! ” Carol, still sounding raspy, updated viewers on her health, responding, “I know. It’s this pesky 100-day cough. It just keeps giving. It won’t go.” Sally offered a comforting “Well get better soon,” while Jon couldn’t resist a chuckle, adding, “We’ll give you another chance in half an hour and see you then! ” Carol thanked them, replying in her croaky tone, “Thank you Jon. Thanks Sal.”

Supportive messages from concerned fans rapidly appeared on social media. The Express highlighted one fan’s tweet: “Poor Carol’s got a cough on #BBCBreakfast. Hope you’re okay @carolkirkwood,” Meanwhile, another viewer said: “Carol says she’s been sneezing like Gudrun due to enhanced levels of hayfever. It’s a Scots expression apparently but who was Gudrun? (she was a Pictish princess back in the day).” Comments also included well-wishes for her recovery, with remarks such as “Good morning Carol it was a hot night last hope you got sleep! ” and encouragements like “Enjoy your day Carol and take care,” reports the Mirror.

Carol, though under the weather, kept her upbeat demeanour throughout the show, cheerily making a light-hearted comment about the weather “flirting”. During her forecast, she revealed: “If you’re wondering about the weekend, well it looks very much like it’s going to be fairly settled with a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine around, but at times fronts flirting with the north west could introduce some showers or a little bit of rain.” Sally cheekily chimed in: “We have to watch out for those fronts that are flirting, don’t we Carol?” Carol replied with a twinkle in her eye: “They’re terrible Sal. No shame!”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK! MagazineFacebookTwitterCommentMore OnBBC BreakfastCarol Kirkwood
