Pregnant BBC Breakfast star Nina Warhurst claps back at troll who told her 'you look a mess'

BBC Breakfast star Nina Warhust has been supported by fans over her response to a troll who claimed she 'looked a mess'. The broadcaster, who recently confirmed she is pregnant with her third child, took to Twitter with a screen grab of the email she had received from a viewer of the BBC One news show.

Nina, 42, has been at the helm of the early morning programme with Jon Kay this week as she has been standing in for Sally Nugent. However, not everyone was happy with the newsreader's appearance on screen and one took things too far by going on to insult her appearance.

The nasty message, appearing to have been sent to Nina's email account, said: "Please do something with your hair. You look a mess! We have to look at you while we are eating our breakfasts, for heavens sake!"

Sharing the email and a selfie of herself in the BBC Breakfast studio with co-star Jon, Nina hit back on Twitter: "Women who do this to women," alongside a disappointed face. "Too repulsed by my hair to eat her breakfast, but managing to bang out this vitriol."

And Nina's replies were quickly full of supportive messages telling her to 'ignore' the uncalled for message.

Sky Sports News presenter Hayley McQueen said: "Wow, if that's a bad hair day you should see mine sometimes, they best not switch over to Sky, i might make them actually sick haha. Some people are so strange!" Former Hollyoaks actress Rachel Shenton replied: "The comment says far more about her than it does about your hair! (Which is great btw)."

ITV Wales' Ruth Dodsworth shared: "Oh Nina. I’ve got to say… your hair is absolutely spot on perfect!!! I aspire to this! I get… “lovely” messages like this daily… in my case they aren’t too far off the mark. But what on earth compels the few to be so utterly vile?! It’s totally befuddling!"

@CurlyShirley02 commented: "Everything about you is absolutely lovely. Ignore the haters and trolls. We love you Nina, don’t ever change the way you are." @jomcdonnell233 shared: "And there I was thinking how amazing your hair looked and feeling jealous that I can’t get mine to look like that." @Loobylou65 wrote: "You looked lovely. She probably hated that you looked so nice. I'm sorry you have to put up with this." @BeckySouthworth added: "We love you and your hair."
