Carol Kirkwood, 63, confesses there is 'no such thing as a perfect romance' after revealing her plans to retire and travel Europe with her husband Steve Randall, 49
has confessed there is 'no such thing as a perfect romance' after revealing she plans to retire in two years and her and travel Europe with her husband Steve Randall. The BBC weather veteran, 63, married police officer Steve, 49, in December 2023 - nine years after her divorce from property developer Jimmy Kirkwood. And now she has admitted that she thinks there is no such thing as the 'perfect romance' as she opened up about her divorce to the Daily Mirror. She told the publication: 'I feel sad when relationships break down. I was married before, and we got divorced, and it's always sad when that happens. 'But, of course, there isn't such a thing, I don't think, as the perfect romance - where you're never going to fall out or have cross words. Of course you are, that's life.' Carol and Steve - who have a 13-year age gap - got hitched in an 'intimate' wedding ceremony in Buckinghamshire in December 2023. Her comment comes after she revealed she hopes to retire in as little as two years so she can drive off into the sunset with her policeman husband. The TV star has been a fixture at the BBC for 27 years but has said she is planning a change of scene for her and Steve when she turns 65. Discussing her retirement hopes, Carol, who is also a published author, said: 'We fell in love with Majorca, which is where we went so I could research my fifth novel, Meet Me at Sunset, about a woman running away from a shattered love affair. 'Steve and I plan to escape and travel for some time when we retire, perhaps in a year or two. 'We'll travel in a camper van or get in the car, cross over to France and then just drive.' Carol, from Morar, Lochaber, was married to property developer Jimmy but the pair split in 2008 after 18 years of marriage, with the divorce finalised in 2012. She recently made a cheeky comment when asked about her second marriage, telling one newspaper: 'Love is lovelier the second time around. No disrespect to my first husband, but this is better.' Carol, who was on Strictly Come Dancing in 2015, began her career at the BBC as a secretary before cross training with the Met Office and joining BBC News in 1998. She appears regularly across all of BBC Weather's output on both radio and TV and is the main weather presenter on BBC Breakfast. The TV star also spoke about the age gap in her relationship, stating it makes no difference to her. She told Saga Magazine: 'Steve is 50 this year. Other people's opinions about an age gap don't matter - I don't feel he is younger than me.' She also said she believes that meeting him was fate. She said: 'We were at a function neither of us wanted to go to. It was a Sliding Doors moment - if I hadn't gone, we would never have met.' Discussing her relationship in another interview, she said: 'Love is lovelier the second time around. 'The wedding was the most perfect day. Storm Gerrit was raging outside and we didn't even notice. 'It was about us getting married rather than having a big, fancy wedding. We had no guests and wrote our own vows. 'When you are older, you know more what you want.'

EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite reveals her son, 17, is transgender

The Melanie Owen actress explained how Flo, now 17, revealed his identity when he was 'about 10 or 11' on the Parenting Hell Podcast. 'I've got two kids. I did have two daughters and now I have a son and a daughter,' she said. 'That's quite easy for me to say now, but it wasn't maybe six or seven years ago.' As she gushed about her children's successes, she was quick to point out that being transgender wasn't the most interesting thing about Flo. 'He's an incredibly funny intelligent boy, and I'm watching him grow into a wonderful human who's very talented. 'To see him thriving is just nothing but relief and joy for me really because there were some dark times.'

BBC star in major career change as the soap comes to an end after 20 years
It's a big change for the soap star. GO TIME BBC star in major career change as the soap comes to an end after 20 years Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RIVER City star Stephen Purdon is already planning for life after soap - after taking over his best pal Grado's radio show. The actor, who has played Bob O'Hara since the series launched in 2002, is joining The Go Radio Breakfast Show from Monday onwards. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Zoe and Stephen are teaming up for Go Radio. 2 Stephen is replacing his best mate Grado. Credit: Tom Farmer Purdon, 42, will be joined by co-host Zoe Kelly on the station's Breakfast Show weekdays from 6am to 10am. He said: "I'm buzzing to be joining the Go Radio family. "I've been a Go Radio listener since the station launched and getting the chance to wake up Glasgow and the West with lots of laughs and chat is a dream come true.' Grado, 37, has hosted the programme alongside Zoe for the last few years but has quietly stepped aside as his friend replaces him on the airwaves. A source close to the Two Doors Down actor said: "It's lovely news that Grado's good mate has taken over the baton at Go Radio and he wishes him all the best." James Maguire, Programme Controller at Go Radio, added: 'From his role in River City to his annual Pavilion Theatre panto performances, Stephen is a natural entertainer with a genuine love for Glasgow and its people. "We're delighted to welcome him to the Go Radio Breakfast Show – it's going to bring a new dynamic to the show's existing winning formula of great chat, music, news and competitions.' We recently revealed that Grado hopes to make a ruthless return to River City - by killing his mate. The wrestler turned actor enjoyed a brief Shieldinch stint in 2014 when he joined the cast as a bonkers grappler named Buster. Grado, real name Graeme Stevely, said: 'My ideal storyline is for me to come back and kill Bob. Moment Grado brings back iconic character at Ayr races 'I would choke him to death in the wrestling ring in Shieldinch Town Hall. 'Can you imagine? The ratings would be so good if that happened that they'd maybe keep it going.' Buster was last seen heading for Las Vegas to pursue his professional wrestling dream. But while Grado's River City stint ended rather quickly, his friendship with Stephen has stayed strong. They barely knew one another when they met on set and have now spent years performing as one of Scotland's most popular panto duo's. The pair also host the hilarious Pint and Two Shots podcast alongside comedian Chris Toal.
