In this week's issue of Radio Times, the nine-time winner of the weather presenter of the year award, 56, discusses how she copes with the fact that approximately 1.5 million people watch her on television every morning.

On how she deals with knowing how many people are watching, Kirkwood says: "I like it if my hair is neat and my make-up is OK and I'm not having a fat day!"

She adds: "I didn't get this figure eating salad. But I go to the gym and I run. I try to be healthy. When I put on weight, it's annoying, but I try to get it off. Perhaps I'm under a little bit more pressure because I'm on the telly."
