She made the accidental remark while presenting the weather from Greenwich Park.

Carol Kirkwood surprised viewers when she accidentally said she could see “lots of doggers” in a London park.

The weather presenter, 58, was updating viewers on the forecast when she made the slip on BBC Breakfast.

“Look at it. Fabulous,” she said of the view in Greenwich Park.

“The sun’s beating down. We’ve seen lots of doggers.”

Kirkwood quickly corrected herself, saying: “Not doggers of course!

“Lots of dog walkers and joggers around here through the course of this morning.”

She later tweeted: “That will teach me to try and say joggers and dog walkers in the same sentence!!! Sorry!”

BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker responded: “Reasons to love Carol number 472…. Recovered like a pro. I don’t think anyone even noticed.”

DJ Greg James wrote: “Yet further proof that Carol Kirkwood is a national treasure.”
