BBC's Carol Kirkwood 'It's never too late to make a change in life - I have!'
Carol Kirkwood, 61, is enjoying loved-up, pre wedding bliss with police officer fiancé Steve Randall and has just released her third novel, Secrets of the Villa Amore. When we speak to Carol mid-afternoon on a Monday, she’s already been awake for more than 12 hours (but you’d never know it, given her infectious energy she seems to bring to everything she does) and is arriving back at her Berkshire home after a morning’s shift presenting the weather on BBC Breakfast.The last few weeks have been a whirlwind; Not only as she travelled to and from London to report the weather at Wimbledon, but she’s been doing the rounds to publicise her latest book- all in the hopes of securing a third bestseller. Given her 3am daily wake-up calls, where does she find the energy let alone the time to write a book? “You know that expression ‘if you want a job done, give it to a busy person’,” she laughs.
