BBC Breakfast fans were treated to a brave performance from weather presenter Carol Kirkwood this week, despite her struggling with a hoarse voice during the live broadcast.
Carol's voice wavered as she tried valiantly to present the weather forecast, before having to give in when discussing the day's temperatures.The show's hosts Sally Nugent and Jon Kay expressed their concern for Carol, with Sally telling her, "Your voice nearly lasted to the very end there, Carol, well done! " Carol, still sounding raspy, updated viewers on her health, responding, "I know.
It's this pesky 100-day cough. It just keeps giving. It won't go." Sally offered a comforting "Well get better soon," while Jon couldn't resist a chuckle, adding, "We'll give you another chance in half an hour and see you then! " Carol thanked them, replying in her croaky tone, "Thank you Jon.Thanks Sal." Supportive messages from concerned fans rapidly appeared on social media.The Express highlighted one fan's tweet: "Poor Carol's got a cough on #BBCBreakfast.
Hope you're okay @carolkirkwood," Meanwhile, another viewer said: "Carol says she's been sneezing like Gudrun due to enhanced levels of hayfever.
