Because I've just been splatted by a pigeon."Carol simply burst into laughter at his admission, before gathering herself enough to say: "Try one of these wet wipe things - it might spread it a wee bit, but if you use a few..."Looking completely unimpressed by Carol's tips, Jon said: "It could get messy, couldn't it?

Carol Kirkwood has explained why she likes to keep her fiancé's identity hidden in a resurfaced interview.The BBC Breakfast star candidly discussed her “secret boyfriend” last year, before the pair became engaged back in May. Carol, 60, has never publicly named her long-term partner, choosing to keep his name a secret.Last year, while she was promoting her debut romantic novel titled Under A Greek Moon, she spoke about her now-fiancé.“He’s only a secret boyfriend because I never talk about him,” she began.“I always feel that through my job, I put myself in the public eye and am very happy, but my partner and my family and my friends haven’t, so I’m hugely respectful of their privacy.“I just don’t talk about them, other than to say that my partner is drop-dead gorgeous, he’s funny, he makes me very happy.“He gets up at quarter to three in the morning to make me a cup of tea before going to work – if that’s not romantic, I don’t know what is,” she told PA News Agency. Back in May, Carol shared the exciting news of her engagement in front of her BBC audience.She opted for a dramatic reveal live on air and was congratulated by BBC Breakfast colleagues Sally Nugent and Jon Kay as she flashed her ring. The weather presenter broke the news as she reported from the Chelsea Flower Show. She told viewers she had been proposed to while on holiday, with co-star Sally helping her to deliver the announcement. Sally told Carol at the time: “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.”Carol grinned as she looked down at her hand, before replying: “Oh that one, thank you Sal. “It is rather nice, I got engaged.”Sally then responded:

Carol Kirkwood, 60, recently showed off her new engagement ring while on-air at the Chelsea Flower Show. It comes after the BBC Breakfast weather presenter shared the happy news with viewers in May, but this was not the meteorologist's first engagement.The BBC favourite recalled how she struggled to cope with her work duties after she separated from her first husband Jimmy Kirkwood.Carol, who was formerly known as MacKelliag, had tied the knot with the former cricket player in the 1990s, during the early days of her career working at the BBC.The pair were together for 18 years before getting a divorce in 2008.The on-screen host has often kept details of her love life private and the reason for their split is not publicly known.However, Carol has previously opened up about their divorce, adding she was relatively young when she first got married."I was married for a long time and I got married quite young so it’s nice doing things I have the freedom to do now," she told The Sun.In her 2021 book, Under The Greek Moon, Carol admitted the divorce was "all so shocking to me", and recalled how she’d break down in tears behind the scenes on BBC Breakfast before putting on a smile for the camera again.She said: "In a funny way though, that helped with the healing process.
