Updating fans on her travels, she wrote on X: “Just visited Tresco (Isles of Scilly). @Hurtiagents To call it stunning doesn’t do it justice. Weather beautiful. Fell in love with the red squirrels.”

She shared a snap of her stunning view, a stony beach, and explained that she’d decided to sail to the British island rather than fly. Fans were thrilled that she was having a good time, with one writing: “Oh my! It looks stunning and is instantly on my ‘to do’ list, especially with the red squirrels!”
Another said: “Have a lovely time Carol take care”. A third added “Beautiful Carol, enjoy your break”.
It comes after the star sparked concerns for health as she appeared to be struck down by a nasty cold on air. One fan wrote: “@BBCBreakfast someone please give Carol a throat sweet, she sounds terrible.”
A second added: “Good morning. You sounded a little croaky this morning. Hope you OK.” A third commented: “Do you have a bit of a cold there Carol.”

Another joked: “Carol sounds like she’s been on a mad one all weekend. This woman needs a Lemsip.” Carol had already recognised that her voice was sounding “ropey”.
