BBC Breakfast’s resident weathergirl Carol Kirkwood didn’t hesitate to clap back at one fan who accused her of smiling too much on the popular breakfast programme.
Carol is known for her sweet interactions with fans on social media and in real life, and she usually doesn’t mind replying to keen followers who wish her the best for the day – along with sharing positive updates about the weather and what she’s up to.
And the 59-year-old didn’t lose any of her regular poise as she firmly put one user right after a Twitter swipe.
One Twitter user accused Carol of being too cheerful when announcing the lack of rain in the recent weather forecasts.
Taking to the platform, they penned: “Why is @carolkirkwood on @BBCBreakfast smiling when she says there is no rain in the forecast…

“@PeterWohlleben taught us that trees scream during drought – no smiling matter… Carol is not being unkind I am sure, but pls tell it like it is… desperate…”
Carol quickly corrected them: “I am not smiling because there is no rain Simon!!! We need rain… I am well aware of that x”.
Wanting to clarify they hadn’t meant any harm in the tweet, Simon, the original tweeter, told Carol: “Good to hear. It is just you are always so cheery, and brighten our screens each morning. But, the situation is getting grimmer by the day… and I think forecasters should say so.
“I see everything in terms of climate not weather, perhaps not always correctly…”
Another fan rushed to support Carol, tweeting: “I’m sorry but I know for sure if Carol wasn’t like that making me happy I would go clinically insane.
“Carol’s smile cheers up the nation including me just what we all need in these dark times.”

As someone else gushed: “I look forward to your smile each morning AND on Twitter and your smile is always the first thing I see on Insta every morning, it’s like medicine!
“You report the weather you don’t make it!!! Keep on doing what you do lovely lady.”
A third fan was baffled by the lack of rainfall as they responded: “Please Carol! We’re out with the watering can and it’s only April. Has this been an unusually dry month?”
BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
