Carol Kirkwood leaves BBC Breakfast viewers in hysterics after saying there are lots of 'doggers' in Greenwich Park
BBC Breakfast weather presenter Carol Kirkwood left viewers in hysterics this morning after she accidentally said there were lots of "doggers" in Greenwich Park.
"What a view we have," Ms Kirkwood said as she gave this morning's weather forecast from the park in south east London.
She added: "Fabulous! The sun is beating down, we've seen lots of doggers."
Ms Kirkwood was quick to correct her slip of the tongue, adding: "Not doggers of course... lots of dog walkers and joggers."
Reasons to love Carol number 472 #Joggers 😂🤦🏼♀️

Ms Kirkwood later tweeted: "That will teach me to try and say joggers and dog walkers in the same sentence!!! Sorry!"
BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker also made light of the blunder, adding: "Reasons to love Carol number 472 #Joggers. Recovered like a pro. I don’t think anyone even noticed #BBCBreakfast."
