A ray of sunshine! BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood marries partner Steve
Carol Kirkwood has married her partner Steve.
The BBC weather presenter, 61, and her ray of sunshine tied the knot in Buckinghamshire on Wednesday (27.12.23).
She told 'BBC Breakfast': "It was the most perfect and romantic and intimate wedding. We are both so incredibly happy."
In May 2022, Carol revealed live on 'BBC Breakfast' that she and Steve had got engaged.
The star was reporting from the Chelsea Flower Show at the time when her co-host Sally Nugent jokingly voiced some "concern" for her pal after spotting a ring on her engagement finger.
She said: "I'm a little bit concerned about you this morning. I don't know how you're managing to stand up with that giant rock on your left hand, Carol!"
Peering down at her hand, Carol replied: "Oh, that one? Thank you Sal! It is rather nice, I got engaged."
Sally responded to the happy news by offering a “congratulations” on behalf of the entire team, before getting permission to “confirm to the nation”.
She said: "Congratulations from all of us! It's the happiest news, we are so, so delighted. Congratulations.
"Can we confirm to the nation what's happened?"
Carol - while giggling - agreed and called it "lovely news".
She said: "Yes! I think you just have, Sal. Yes, I got engaged. We got engaged when we were on holiday. So it's lovely news and we're both thrilled, so thank you!"
'BBC Breakfast' co-host Jon Kay added: "We're all thrilled, we're all so chuffed for you Carol, on behalf of all the team here and everybody watching, I'm sure. Absolutely delighted.
"Are you looking for a spot for the marquee while you're at Chelsea, yeah?"
Carol replied: "I'm taking note of all the flowers, Jon. But no, there's no plans in fruit yet."
The star hasn't revealed Steve's last name, but recently told Prima Magazine he was "always making me laugh", and she described him as "extremely handsome".
