Strictly Come Dancing’s Carol Kirkwood Is NOT Looking For A Date, Ta Very Much.

She’s wowing us all with her moves on Strictly Come Dancing at the moment – but in between practising her samba and presenting the weather on BBC Breakfast, Carol Kirkwood hasn’t got time for dating, thank you very much.

Despite being flooded with offers since her appearance on the show, Carol’s insisted that she’s loving being a strong independent woman.

THREE CHEERS FOR THE SISTERHOOD.

Speaking to The Sun, the weather presenter said that after 25 years of marriage, she’s too busy enjoying her freedom to think about doing the tango with anyone else (if you catch our drift).

“I was married for a long time and I got married quite young so it’s nice doing things I have the freedom to do now. If I want to go out to the theatre or go out with friends for dinner, I’ve got that freedom.”

“Nobody has been setting me up on ‘Strictly’ and I’m not doing any online dating or anything. Sometimes you do get invited out by viewers but I don’t know these people that are writing emails to me saying 'Let’s go to dinner.’ ”

“I’m very flattered that anybody would be bothered to do that but I don’t know who they are so I’m not tempted to follow them up.”

Yeah, never really a great idea to just accept a date from a complete stranger to be honest – at least on First Dates the people are vaguely vetted.

But despite internally singing along to Destiny’s Child 'Independent Women’ 24 hours a day, Carol’s inner dialogue isn’t anti-relationships at all – she just wants to find the right person to settle down with:

“I absolutely believe in marriage - if you’re married to the person who is your soulmate and the person who you want to spend the rest of your life with.”

“It’d be nice to be seeing somebody but it’s not the be all and end all - I wouldn’t get married just for the sake of being married, because I’m happy as I am.”

AMEN, HONEY.
