CAROL Kirkwood has admitted taking over her parents' hotel was "too much" for her to take on during an appearance on The One Show.
The BBC Breakfast weather presenter was invited onto the evening show to discuss her new novel, The Hotel on the Riviera. As she talked about writing the book, host Ronan Keating asked if she would ever want to take over a hotel herself.
Carol, 60, then recalled how her parents used to run a hotel, working around the clock, which discouraged her from ever following in their footsteps.
She explained: "My mum and dad actually owned a hotel and I saw the amount of work which was involved with it - and that was too much for me. "It really is 24/7, but I know the ins and outs of a hotel and in the book, I love anything to do with visual imagery." .css-16e4f55{margin:16px 0;}.css-1czxmma{background-color:rgba(252,239,255,1);margin:16px 0;}.css-1tapza8{padding:20px 15px;}.css-1bk4jdt{padding:20px.
