BBC Breakfast’s Ben Thompson was forced to apologise to Carol Kirkwood after he made his own weather predictions on the show on Tuesday morning
BBC Breakfast presenter Ben Thompson had to say sorry to weather expert Carol Kirkwood after offering his own weather forecast. Confidently predicting post-Bank Holiday sunshine, Ben mused: “So now that the Bank Holiday weekend is over, the weather is getting really good.”
However, Carol swiftly set the record straight and warned: “That is not the forecast by the way,” before delivering the real weather details.
After Carol completed her report, a red-faced Ben admitted: “This is why we leave it to the professionals, Carol. That is much more accurate after my terrible forecast, I am sorry.”
To which Carol, finding amusement in the situation, responded: “Bless you, Ben,” and the ever-apologetic Ben rounded off with: “See you soon,” reports the Express.

Carol regularly updates fans on the day’s weather prospects via her social media accounts, penning a “Good morning,” message accompanied by a snapshot of expected temperatures for the week, highlighting a, “Relatively mild start this morning. This time yesterday, the temperature in Aboyne in Aberdeenshire was 4C!”
Continuing her online engagement, Carol shared the pollen count across Britain, tweeting: “Today’s pollen levels.”
Followers shared photos reflecting the current skies in their vicinities, while another added a personal touch mentioning their plans in Spain: “Morning Carol. Still dark here in Spain. Another half an hour then we can walk the dog. Say hello to Ratta. Have a good day.”

Yet another loyally commented: “Good Morning to you Carol, on a pleasant start of the day near Heathrow.”
“Good Morning Carol hope you enjoy your day,” one fan wrote as another sent their wishes saying, “Good morning Carol, have a terrific Tuesday, stay safe and take care.”
Meanwhile, excitement buzzed on the show as Ben and Sally talked about an anticipated announcement from Oasis set for 8am, with fans eager to possibly hear about Liam and Noel Gallagher’s first tour dates in three decades. Yet, some viewers expressed their discontent with Sally and Ben allocating a significant chunk of the programme to this piece of news.
One unimpressed viewer voiced, “Another no news day #BBCBreakfast,” while another commented with a hint of frustration, “Please stop talking about Oasis, you said it all yesterday.”
