Carol Kirkwood gives BBC Breakfast viewers a health update after struggling to get through weather report

The 62-year-old appeared to be having problems with a hoarse voice and a cough as she delivered the day's weather to BBC viewers.

Carol dazzled in leopard print as today's hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent couldn't help but make a comment to Carol about the state of her voice.

Praising her for getting through it, Sally quipped: "Your voice nearly lasted to the very end there, Carol, well done!"

Confirming she had been under the weather for 100 days, Carol said: "I know. It's this pesky 100-day cough. It just keeps giving. It won't go."

After Carol confirmed her "pesky" condition, Sally said to the star: "Well get better soon."

Cheekily, Jon Kay quipped back: "We'll give you another chance in half an hour and see you then!"

Carol first showed signs that her voice may be having issues back in April when fans were quick to share their worries about her health.

Fans insisted that she delivered her morning report then with a "croaky voice" back then - just over 100 days from her latest update.

Commenting at the time, one fan said to Carol: "Good morning. You sounded a little croaky this morning hope your OK."

Elsewhere, Carol recently told of how she 'doesn't care' if people make comments on the 14- year age gap between her and her new husband.

The 62-year-old previously said she "could not be happier" after tying the knot with her policeman partner back in December last year.

Carol met Steve, 47, around seven years ago and the pair got engaged in 2022.

Speaking to Yours magazine, Carol said: "We’ve moved on from the days when he might be described as my toy boy or me being called a cougar.

“If our ages were the other way around, nobody would ever mention it.

"I’ve had a few comments [about our ages] but I don’t care. We’re happy together and that’s all that matters.

“Also, I think that, as you get older, it matters less. The gap shrinks. If I was 40 and he was 20, it would be a different matter."
