BBC Breakfast hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent interrupted Monday’s show to welcome back their co-star Carol Kirkwood, who had taken a few weeks off.

“Right, it is quarter past six. I’m delighted to say that Carol’s back with us this morning,” Jon beamed before turning to his co-star.

“Very delighted,” Sally chimed in before adding, “Morning, Carol.”

Jon went on, “Just as the sun comes out, you have come back.”

Carol laughed as she replied, “Timed that beautifully. Good morning, both, and good morning to you, too. It is lovely to be back.”

While Carol didn’t say where she had been, her co-star Matt Taylor has been filling in for her over the past few weeks.

The meteorologist took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to announce that Carol would be back on screens.

On Sunday, he wrote alongside a video clio, “My wonderful friend @carolkirkwood is back @BBCBreakfast tomorrow morning

“The fact that the sun is back after three weeks of rain (when I was on Breakfast duty) is PURELY COINCIDENTAL!”

In the video, he said, “Right, so I have just done three weeks of Breakfast. It has rained every single day.

“According to the Environmental Agency as well, across England, we had the wettest week of weather in around a year.

“Carol is back on Monday, blue skies out, drier week for most.”

Matt concluded the video by detailing this week’s weather forecast before telling his followers to “enjoy.”
