BBC Breakfast star Carol Kirkwood has given a sweet insight into her relationship with Steve Randall after getting engaged in May of last year.

The 61-year-old weather presenter, who was previously married to cricket player Jimmy Kirkwood between 1990 and 2008, spoke about finding her “perfect” beau in a new interview.

The BBC favourite described how she was feeling “happy and healthy” following her engagement to the 48-year-old former police officer.

Speaking to Closer magazine, she revealed she wasn’t expecting to get into a relationship at the time she and Steve got together.

She explained: “We were friends before we became romantically involved so we knew each other quite well before we started dating.

“That was nice because it just kind of happened,” Carol reminisced happily.
