Kirkwood told presenters Jon Kay and Sally Nugent: "I didn't want to get emotional, but you two are my friends, and I love you dearly." 

"I want to spend more time with my gorgeous husband Steve. We're ships that pass in the night, so I'm really looking forward to doing that. We want to travel as well." 

She added: "I've loved my job, I've loved working at the BBC, but I love my husband more than my job." 

Kirkwood, who is from Morar on the west coast of Scotland, married police officer Steve Randall in 2023.
