Carol Kirkwood caught up in X-RATED photo scandal as troll targets her
GETTY • BBC Carol Kirkwood has been targeted by hackers claiming to have 'explicit' snaps of the star
A sleazy file sharing site is claiming to have "explicit, close-up pics" of the 54-year-old forecaster, as well as X-rated images of a whole host of big names. Despite the threat, it's understood that no images have been uploaded to the web of the blonde. A source told The Sun that the leak allegations would be a "huge shock" to Carol, who is one of the most recognised faces on morning television.
BBC Carol is best-known for hosting BBC Breakfast's weather segment
"She is just a nice normal woman and not used to be named in such a way," the insider said. Despite the hacker's claims, a BBC spokesperson shot down the allegations, telling Express.co.uk: "These are false claims. Any photos this website has are fake." The publication also stated that Coronation Street star Kym Marsh, 40, was another famous face at risk of having personal images leaked. Despite the harrowing allegations, the former Strictly Come Dancing star brushed off the claims as she returned to her post on BBC Breakfast this morning.
