BBC Breakfast fans were left swooning over 'national treasure' Carol Kirkwood as she celebrated her birthday.
The longtime weather presenter turned 62-years-old today as she was warmly welcomed onto the show by Jon Kay and Sally Nugent.
Carol absolutely stunned on-screen as she took to the airwaves in a stunning leopard print dress.
As she was first brought up onto the studio screens, Sally, 52, and Jon, 54, both sung a somewhat rowdy rendition of the traditional 'Happy Birthday' song.
Giggling along, she "Bless you both, that took me by surprise there completely!

However she couldn't help but take a swipe at her BBC Breakfast co-stars with a jibe at their singing.
She sarcastically joked: "But how melodic!"
But fans couldn't help but give gushing praise for the star as they took to X - formerly known as Twitter.
One fan gushed: "Happy Birthday Carol ???????????????????? You are a national treasure ???????????????????? Oh and thank you for the beautiful sunshine in the Portsmouth area this morning ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ Have a wonderful day."
A second viewer stated: "Happy birthday Carol the nations weather girl ????????????."
"Love the dress Carol - looking absolutely stunning! Me-Wow!," exclaimed a third.
As a fourth wrote: "Can someone tell me where Carol Kirkwood got that dress from? It’s stunning and I want!????."
Joking about her ageless appearance, a fifth viewer sarcastically added: "Happy 30th birthday, Carol.."
This may have been a far more welcoming exchange than Carol is used to in the studio when she shares the screen with Naga Munchetty, 49.
Last month, viewers couldn't help but notice a frosty atmosphere in the studio between the pair.

They added: "You can cut the atmosphere with a knife."
