" The TV favourite hinted at the mysteries wrapped in the dark Venetian nights without streetlights - perfect for concealing secrets.

" For those eager fans wishing to dive into Kirkwood's third fictitious offering, the novel is now hitting the shelves and is up for grabs on Amazon. Meanwhile, the conversation quickly turned to Carol's romantic life, with Alex probing: "Your real life Carol has been quite romantic since we last met. You got married in December, you say the weather wasn't on your side, which is terrible when you're booking a wedding but you looked super happy and super beautiful.
So how is it?" Carol beamed as she replied: "It's going fabulously and I couldn't be happier," sharing that her wedding day was: "The perfect day, it was a small intimate wedding, it was beautiful and very romantic." She also shared a humorous anecdote about the weather on her big day, saying: "There was a storm, can you believe it? Storm Gerrit. We booked it, obviously, it was a bit in advance and we didn't know there was going to be a storm.
" Despite the meteorological mishap, Carol admitted, "I was watching it in the lead-up to the wedding and I was thinking 'no' but on the actual day we didn't even notice." The One Show airs weekdays on BBC One and can be streamed via iPlayer..
