Carol Kirkwood HITS BACK After ‘Dreadful Abuse’ From BBC Viewers
Fictional entertainment rewrite based solely on the supplied source.
BBC Breakfast favourite Carol Kirkwood has reportedly hit back at online trolls after years of receiving unpleasant comments, insisting she has reached the point where criticism simply washes over her.
The 63-year-old weather presenter has been a familiar face to BBC viewers for decades, building a large following since joining the broadcaster in the 1990s.
Despite that popularity, the supplied story claims Carol has faced repeated abuse on social media.
But she is said to have made clear that she no longer allows those comments to affect her.
Speaking to Radio Times, Carol reportedly said: “I am what I am, and I don’t really care what anybody thinks of me.”
Carol Says Criticism No Longer Bothers Her
The presenter reportedly addressed everything from criticism of her work to debates over what job title should be used to describe her.
“And in that sense, whether I’m a ‘weather girl’ or a ‘weather presenter’ or a ‘broadcast meteorologist’ doesn’t really bother me,” she said in the supplied account.
Carol added that her priority remained simply doing her job as well as possible.
“I’m just doing my job to the best of my ability and hopefully improving myself on a daily basis, whether people think I’m capable or not. Titles don’t really matter.”
When discussing some of the harsher comments she has allegedly received online, Carol reportedly brushed them aside with a weather-themed joke.
“That’s water off a duck’s back to me now,” she said.
“Or maybe that should be heavy rain off a duck’s back?”
The story also references an earlier interview from 2014 in which Carol was said to have described some online comments as becoming “very personal”.
Decades on BBC Television
Carol’s television career began in the early 1990s, with the supplied source stating that she first worked at Windsor TV.
She later appeared on BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 4 before becoming a freelance BBC presenter.
Her career then expanded across the corporation’s weather coverage, with appearances on programmes including BBC News, BBC World News and BBC News at Six.
Her long-running presence on BBC Breakfast has helped make her one of the programme’s most recognisable personalities.
The story also recalls a previous on-air moment when viewers noticed Carol struggling with a hoarse voice and cough.
After one weather segment, Sally Nugent reportedly joked: “Your voice nearly lasted to the very end there, Carol, well done!”
Carol responded: “I know. It’s this pesky 100-day cough. It just keeps giving. It won’t go.”
Carol Previously Shared Wedding Happiness
Away from television, the supplied article also looks back at Carol’s wedding to Steve Randall at Cliveden House in Buckinghamshire in 2023.
Carol described the occasion as intimate and romantic.
“It was the most perfect and romantic and intimate wedding,” she said.
“We are both so incredibly happy.”
She later thanked supporters for their messages and explained that the ceremony had been private rather than deliberately secret.
“It was a tiny wedding but so romantic and intimate. A day we will never forget. We are bursting with happiness,” she said.
‘Water Off a Duck’s Back’
After decades in broadcasting, the central message of the supplied story is that Carol has learned not to let online criticism define her.
Rather than responding angrily to trolls, she reportedly prefers to concentrate on her work and dismiss personal attacks with humour.
Her “heavy rain off a duck’s back” remark summed up that attitude — suggesting that, after years in the public eye, she has become far less concerned about what strangers say online.
