Kirkwood did not spill too much about her mystery man but did share some of the romantic details.
“I don't want to say too much about my boyfriend, but I will say that he is very kind and very funny - he is always making me laugh. And extremely handsome, as well,” said the TV star.
Kirkwood said her boyfriend always made her a cup of tea before she headed off to work on BBC Breakfast – even though that meant being up at 2.45am.
And she shared that she often comes home to love notes from him, that to her are “worth a million red roses”.

“He is the best thing that's ever happened to me, without a shadow of a doubt,” she said.
Kirkwood – who was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing in 2015 - was married to her former husband for 18 years.
After they split, she told the Radio Times: “I found myself when I got divorced.
"I started to do things and to think, ‘I’m not going to say no, I’m going to say yes!’”
