Carol Kirkwood confirms exit from the BBC after more than 25 years - and it wasn't an "easy decision" ...Middle East

Kirkwood joined the BBC in 1998 and has been a familiar and much-loved presence across the broadcaster, particularly on BBC Breakfast, where she has presented the weather to millions of viewers.

Her regular outside broadcasts include Royal Ascot, the Chelsea Flower Show and the New Year's Eve fireworks. She has also delivered forecasts for major sporting events such as The London Marathon and leading UK golf tournaments.

Speaking of her departure, Kirkwood added in a statement: "It's been an absolute privilege to bring you the weather every day. My job is something I've never taken for granted and I’ve loved every minute! From early starts and all manner of forecasts, I've shared it with incredible colleagues at BBC Breakfast, BBC Weather and programmes across the BBC. I'd like to thank them for their support and friendship which has meant the world.

"And to those watching and listening at home - thank you for all the kindness you have shown me over the years, being part of your mornings has been a joy. This hasn’t been an easy decision to make, but it feels like the right moment to step away. I’ll carry with me the most wonderful memories."
