The meteorologist has been praised for carrying on with her report like a pro. As she finished up, Cecilia laughed as she said: "If you can hear a tinkling, I'm really, really, sorry, it's my alarm which has gone off."

News presenter, Tara Mills, responded: "I thought it was the ice-cream van!"

But now Cecilia has taken to Twitter to clarify why she had an alarm set for 7pm. She said: "So if you’re wondering why I have an alarm going off at 7pm….it's my ‘stop eating’ alarm...my chocolate cut off lol."

One person replied that it's a great idea to have a "brake on the flake", with another adding "the explanation has made it even better."
