She is reported to have a big family with Carol being one of eight children.
However, while she is from a big family, Carol does not have any children of her own.
Carol has been given the title Auntie by her former BBC Breakfast college Steph McGovern.
Back in February, Steph tweeted: “My new favourite thing is watching Auntie Carol @carolkirkwood doing a personal weather forecast for my 3 month old daughter whilst sitting on her knee (the baby not me). #weatherwords #babychat.”
Carol was previously married to ex-husband Jimmy Kirkwood.
They married in 1990, however, after nearly two decades the couple chose to go their separate ways in 2008.
Carol later spoke of her divorce with Jimmy to Radio Times.
Carol told the publication: “I found myself when I got divorced. I started to do things and to think, ‘I’m not going to say no, I’m going to say yes!
