BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood has announced she has married her partner Steve.

The couple's wedding took place on Wednesday in Buckinghamshire.

"It was the most perfect and romantic and intimate wedding. We are both so incredibly happy," she told BBC Breakfast.

Kirkwood, 61, revealed her engagement live on BBC Breakfast from the Chelsea Flower Show in 2022.

At the time, she showed off her engagement ring during a weather forecast and said: "We went out for a picnic, I had absolutely no idea.

"The weather was glorious, we were sitting chatting... he was fumbling in his pocket and then out came a ring, I thought he was joking actually, I didn't believe him to start with."

Inverness-shire-born Kirkwood joined the BBC Weather Centre team in 1998 and has gone on to win several TV awards.

Kirkwood has not revealed many details about Steve, including his last name, but she previously told Prima Magazine that he was "extremely handsome" and "always making me laugh".

"He always makes me a cup of tea before I go to work in the morning, which is very romantic - it's 2.45am!

"And he often leaves me a little love note for when I come home from work. That, to me, is worth a million red roses," she said.

Kirkwood added that he was "the best thing that's ever happened to me, without a shadow of a doubt".
