Carol Kirkwood has announced a brand new project away from her role as the weather presenter on BBC Breakfast. The 61-year-old took to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday morning to reveal her brand new novel Once Upon A Time in Venice.
She penned to her 255 thousand followers: “I’m delighted to announce that I have a new novel coming in July called #OnceUponATimeInVenice.
“This time I’m whisking you away to Italy where masquerade balls, opera stars and Hollywood all collide in a sizzling romance.” This will be Carol’s fourth novel after writing Under A Greek Moon, The Hotel on the Riviera and Secrets of the Villa Amore.
Carol’s loyal followers rushed to the comments section to share their excitement about her new book. One X user expressed: “Can’t wait, love your books, usually the sun comes out and I can read your book in my garden, annual treat, sheer bliss.”
While another excited fan penned to her: “Ooooh sounds a bit like a phantom of the opera situation eeek can not wait to read it.” (sic)
Somebody else wrote: “Look forward to reading it Carol,” while a fourth added: “Yesssss. Excited to read this one too!! xx”
Carol’s announcement comes after she recently sparked concern by going missing from BBC Breakfast.
The Scottish host is normally on hand to let people know what the British weather will be like each day – but this week she wasn’t in her normal post.
She decided to update her fans on her whereabouts as she posted to X and confirmed she was holidaying in Cornwall.
She posted some pictures of her beautiful surroundings, including an image of a cute squirrel as she wrote: “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.”
Carol replied to a fan, who asked if she flew to the island on a chopper, as she said that she had sailed there. Her followers wished her well as they hoped that she enjoyed her break.
The author has been a staple of our television screens as the main weather presenter on BBC Breakfast for nearly two and a half decades.
