Carol Kirkwood concerns BBC Breakfast viewers as she reveals painful injury

BBC Breakfast’s Carol Kirkwood left fans worried after she revealed a painful looking injury on her arm.

The weather reporter, 60, appeared on Tuesday’s instalment as she gave her usual forecast for the week.

Carol wore a purple patterned three quarter sleeve dress as she delivered the weather update.

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a nasty burn on her right forearm.

Viewers leaped on Twitter to share their concern, with one writing: “That looks sore.”

Another posted: “Ouch Carol! Take care.”

A third said: “Omg it looks like a sore one.”

Carol reassured her fans that she was on the mend after spilling boiling water on her arm.

The meteorologist explained: “I accidentally spilt a mug of boiling water over it…it hurt at the time…OUCH!”

Carol usually leaves viewers in stitches with her one-liners and accidental blunders.

Last month, she was left red-faced after her co-stars pointed out a major mishap live on-air.

As Carol concluded her bulletin, presenter Sally Nugent noticed a technical error appearing on the weather screen, as a random T had popped up next to the box reading Tuesday.

“You’ve got a stray T there!” Jon announced said, as Carol tried to ignore it and said: “I know, I saw that.”

“T-T-Tuesday!” Jon giggled, as Carol replied: “Trying to hide it… nobody saw it!” and covered the extra letter with her hand.

Unable to avoid a cheeky quip, Sally joked: “Until co-star Jon Kay pointed it out! Sorry Carol, thank you very much!”

Carol quickly fired back: “Yeah, thanks Jon!”

Jon then followed it up with a warning and told Carol: “Don’t drop your Ts.”

However, the trio took it in good humour and were left in hysterics, with Carol laughing: “I’m off for one now, actually!”

“Get one for us as well, see you later!” Jon told her as she disappeared from the screen.
