The star shared an update on pollen levels across the country on Tuesday to give hay fever sufferers the heads up.
She wrote: “Pollen levels today across England are mostly very high, high in Northwest England and moderate in Southwest England. For Scotland and Northern Ireland they are moderate @BBC Breakfast xxx”.
Unfortunately, some of Carol’s fans in Wales was disappointed to see their area had been missed out of the tweet.
They wrote: “Carol, what about [Welsh flag emoji], i know everyone thinks we are part of England, but i thought you would have remembered us” alongside a crying emoji.
