Bbc news: carol kirkwood slammed by dan walker

Presenting the weather from a park in South London, Carol Kirkwood, 56, informed her BBC Breakfast colleagues about what wildlife she had seen while eating to present the forecast. Dan, 41,

introduced the segment where the camera was focussed on a heron stood in the water, capturing just one of the numerous animals Carol had seen in the morning. Carol then went on to present

the weather as she moved on from the wildlife talk, handing back to the studio once she concluded. However, as Dan quizzed the weather forecaster about what she will tell them later on about

the animals, the presenter seemed slightly disappointed. Following the forecast, Dan said: “Thank you very much for that Carol. “We’ve had a heron, we’ve had a dog, we’ve had conkers, what

have you got next for us Carol?” he asked the weather forecaster. Before Carol could answer, Dan added: “Come on, this has got to be a good morning.” “Well a squirrel just went scooting

past, there might be a cat too,” Carol told her BBC colleague, which led Dan to immediately hit back at the weather presenter. “A squirrel? That’s not good enough. Not good enough,” he

jokingly swiped at Carol which he followed with laughter. Joining in with the humorous moment, Carol said: “It’s been a wee bit contrary,” with Dan laughing at the weather reporter's

response. Carol has recently returned to presenting the weather after a noticeably extended break over the summer period. Fans of the popular weather reporter were sent into meltdown and

took to Twitter to air their concerns over her absence. One viewer wrote: “Hi Carol, how are you doing? Are you doing ok?. While another added: “Hey what’s happened to Carol? Not seen her on

the weather for ages now.” Fellow meteorologist Matt Taylor, 42, stepped in to replace Carol as it has now been revealed the weather presenter was taking a summer break. _BBC BREAKFAST AIRS
