BBC Breakfast’s Carol Kirkwood still missing from show as replacement gushes about new TV line-up
BBC Breakfast’s Carol Kirkwood was still missing from the show today – as her replacement gushed about a new TV line-up.
Carol, 60, has left her fans bereft this week after failing to appear on the programme.
Instead, Matt Taylor has been presenting the weather updates, and ahead of one forecast today, he chatted with Jon Kay and Sally Nugent about tonight’s TV.
Jon and Sally had just finished a segment about The Repair Shop, which continues tonight, before Jon said: “Matt is excited about something else on telly tonight, aren’t you?
“I’ve just seen you on social media.”
Matt’s tweet had read: “Happy @RATW_official day!! It’s back on @BBCOne and @BBCiPlayer this evening …and is exactly what Wednesdays need”.
Matt replied: “Oh yeah! Race Across the World, one of my favourites, love it. Bit of escapism on a Wednesday. Can’t wait!”
Meanwhile yesterday, BBC Breakfast viewers were distracted by Sally’s outfit.
While Jon was suited and booted as usual, Sally opted for a purple biker jacket with gold zip detailing, which she had zipped almost all the way up.
She wore it with figure hugging black trousers and high heels, and her ensemble prompted a number of comments on Twitter from BBC Breakfast viewers.
One wrote: “Has @sallynugent just come straight from clubbing in Manchester?”
Another added: “Biker girl vibes from @sallynugent this morning, gorgeous jacket.”
BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
