Carol Kirkwood, a host of BBB Breakfast, has some exciting news about her extremely profitable side business.
The Scottish weather presenter is best known for her television appearances, but she’s also establishing herself as a romance author. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, earlier today, she revealed that her writing career was picking up even further.
The Strictly Come Dancing star has released four books, the first of which was released in 2021, and the second was released just last year. Carol announced that her third book, Secrets of the Villa Amore, had been chosen for a Kindle Monthly Deal (KMD) and would be available for 99p throughout February. Great news ahead of Valentine’s Day!! Xxx”, she wrote, along with a heart emoji.
One fan misread the happy news, leading to a hilarious interaction. “Great news. Your post about your upcoming book was read as “wanted to let you know about my most recent romance… “! I panicked”, they wrote, as Carol responded with laughing emojis.
After Carol and Steve Randall, a police officer and father of one, tied the knot on December 27, 2023, a year after they announced their engagement, the fan was concerned about hearing about their “new romance.”
Steve’s relationship with Carol ended in 2021, but she chose to keep his identity a secret until he prodded. Steve, who is 13 years her junior, split from his wife of 12 years in 2017, while Carol called it a day with her husband of 18 years, Jimmy Kirkwood, in 2008.
Last summer, Carol gushed about her new domestic life, claiming that her first marriage had failed her. The second time you fall in love, you fall in love. No disrespect to my first husband, but this is better”, she told the Times.
Carol added how the early birds work perfectly in sync at home, saying: “I get up at 2.45am. Steve, who’s a police officer, gets up too and makes me a cup of tea. I get to Broadcasting House, which is the headquarters of BBC in London, by 4am”.
After years of keeping her romance secret, she also detailed their enviable meet-cute. About seven years ago, I met Steve at a work event. I was drinking an espresso martini, and Steve very sensibly wasn’t drinking because he’s a policeman and had work the next day”, she said.
Soon after our first lunch date, we had sandwiches and tea. It’s strange to think that neither of us had planned on going to the function, but we changed our minds at the last minute, and if one of us hadn’t, we’d never have met”.
