BBC weather presenter Lizzie Rizzini caused a stir among viewers during the Six O'Clock News weather report after a brief wardrobe moment. While delivering the forecast, the slit in her denim dress exposed the top of her stockings, prompting a flurry of comments on social media.
One viewer remarked: 'Certainly brightens up dull weather.' Another added: 'Taking our minds off the miserable weather.' A third enquired: 'Is that a black lace stocking-top I spy on the BBC News Weather?' They noted they had never seen 'stocking tops on the BBC before'.
However, some viewers questioned whether it was actually a stocking top. One said: 'Sorry to rain on your parade, but suspect they are cycling shorts or thermals.' Another suggested it might have been a black band securing her microphone. For one fan, the moment lifted their mood, writing: 'There is life after Carol Kirkwood.'
Carol Kirkwood, who has been a BBC Breakfast weather presenter since 1998, recently announced she would be reducing her appearances to spend more time with her husband. She said: 'It's been an absolute privilege to bring you the weather every day.' The BBC praised her 'gold standard' contribution, and she is set to depart at the end of April.
