No sooner had she returned from maternity leave and BBC Breakfast star Nina Warhurst was already having to deal with dastardly trolls.
The fan-favourite journalist was out of office for seven months back in 2024 as she welcomed her third baby, a little girl called Nancy. But when she got back to work, Nina found herself subject to other people’s opinions.
In fact, one viewer took to social media to comment on her appearance.
Nina Warhurst epic clap back at unkind comments
They said: “Nina I wish you would do something with your hair, fluff it up, it looks like it’s been plastered down. No offence intended.”
Nina shared the comment on X (formerly Twitter) and quipped: “Ah, it’s good to be back!”
The star had previously been honest about her mixed emotions while returning to work after mat leave.
She said on Instagram: “Cannot fib, the anxiety was real. Tried all my best tricks but only got about 30 mins sleep last night. Work have been brilliant and managed a phased return… And I was back home in the afternoon for a long kip with my girl. The juggle is about to get very real. But here we are… and I am filled with joy and gratitude.”

Nina fans jumped to her defence
Meanwhile her loyal fans were quick to defend their favourite BBC journalist against the unkind comment. One said: “Let the haters hate! Life is too short.”
Another agreed: “I despair at some folk! We all love you.”
Meanwhile, a third said: “I was just thinking how utterly gorgeous you look Nina. I presume some people have nothing better to do with their time but find things to criticise. I’d say if you’ve got nothing nice to say keep quiet, eh?”
Sadly it’s not the first time Nina has suffered unkind comments from strangers on the internet.
The previous April, when she was standing in for Sally Nugent, one viewer begged Nina to change her appearance. They said: “We have to look at you while we are eating our breakfasts, for heaven’s sake!”
