From Senedd to studio? Carwyn Jones has experience presenting the weather
It is the question on everyone's lips after politicians give up the top job: What next?
The wife of outgoing First Minister Carwyn Jones has tweeted, suggesting he should apply for a BBC weather presenter vacancy, external.
With a bit more free time on his hands when he steps down next week, she said: "Here's a vacancy that might suit you."

"My only concern is that the audience might not be able to tell who is who. Now that could be a problem."
