BBC star Nina Warhurst wanted a rom-com look, but saw a Tudor figure
The Sun reported that Nina took inspiration from Kristin Scott Thomas in the 1994 film. Instead, she compared herself to Thomas Cromwell.
Thomas worked alongside King Henry VIII in the 1500s. The king later ordered his execution.
Nina leaned into the joke on social media. She captioned the clip: “Lest we forget.”
She then added: “Please share with all the female 45 year old Thomas Cromwells in your life.”
Nina also joked that she was “one wash away from Tudor Chap”.

One wrote: “Wow you loving the new look.”
Another told her: “It’s gorgeous. Great haircut!”
A third added: “That looks brilliant on you.”
A fourth admitted: “I thought it was Susanna Reid for a split second.”
Their reaction gave the post a warmer ending. Nina saw a Tudor politician, but her fans saw a flattering new cut.
