BBC Breakfast’s Carol Kirkwood issues ‘huge apology’ as fan calls her out for snub
BBC Breakfast’s Carol Kirkwood has issued a “huge apology” after a fan called her out for a snub.
Carol, 60, has a legion of fans but a tweet this week about weather conditions upset one of her followers.
The star shared an update on pollen levels across the country on Tuesday to give hay-fever sufferers the heads up.
She wrote: “Pollen levels today across England are mostly very high, high in north-west England and moderate in south-west England. For Scotland and Northern Ireland they are moderate @BBC Breakfast xxx”.
Unfortunately, some of Carol’s fans in Wales was disappointed to see their area had been missed out of the tweet.
They wrote: “Carol, what about [Welsh flag emoji], I know everyone thinks we are part of England, but I thought you would have remembered us” alongside a crying emoji.

She then added a separate tweet writing: “Pollen levels in Wales today are moderate xxx”.
The fan joked back: “It’s alright, I forgive you just don’t do it again lol”.
