BBC Breakfast’s Carol Kirkwood suffers embarrassing blunder as she promotes job away from show

BBC Breakfast’s Carol Kirkwood suffered an embarrassing blunder as she promoted a job away from the show.

Carol, 60, is not only the lead weather person on BBC Breakfast, but also a successful author.

The star has released two books already, and in a Twitter post last week, she revealed details of her third novel.

Carol wrote: “Woohoo! I am thrilled to share the cover of my brand new summer romance #SecretsoftheVillaAmore, arriving July 2023.

“Get ready for sun, sea and scandal on the Amafli coast. Preorder it now!”

However, one of Carol’s fans replied with a screenshot of a sponsored post on Instagram promoting her new book to point out an embarrassing blunder.

They wrote above the grab: “Except the advert on Instagram says this!!!! Cheeky!!!!”

In the picture, Carol’s book cover could be seen, while above it read: “Dear readers, I am thrilled to share the cover of my bra…”

Unfortunately, the rest of the word was cut off and a read more icon was next to it, giving Carol’s fans a bit of a giggle.

Carol released her first book, Under a Greek Moon, in 2021, with her second novel, The Hotel on the Riviera, released last year.

Meanwhile, Carol has been missing from BBC Breakfast so far this week.

Monday’s show saw Jon Kay and Nina Warhurst on the famous red sofa – with Nina standing in for regular Monday host Sally Nugent.

Viewers had a double whammy of absences as Carol was also absent, with Sarah Keith-Lucas replacing her.

There was further disappointment again today when Carol failed to return to the programme.

BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
