weather presenter was put on the spot by her co-star on Monday’s edition of the early morning show when she was asked about the prospects of a white Christmas.
Carol was finishing up her weather report when Jon Kay turned to her to say: “Carol it’s the 9th of December when are we allowed to ask you about Christmas?” Carol joked: “On the 26th!”
Jon replied: “What if we have plans before the 26th? Seriously when do you get a clue about what’s it’s going to be…”
Carol said: “It’s really too far ahead to say yet if you’re asking if it’s going to be a white Christmas. Five days out you’ll get a better idea.”
Jon’s co-host then told her: “Carol, Jon has been building up to ask that question all morning but he’s been so scared to ask you,” as Jon interrupted: “All year!”
