BBC Breakfast presenter Nina Warhurst hit back at an internet troll who made a nasty comment about her appearance.
Warhurst, who is pregnant with her third child, took on the troll after receiving a message via email that criticised her hair following an appearance on the breakfast news show on Wednesday (5 April).
In a post on Twitter, the TV presenter shared a screenshot of the horrible email she’d received. It read: “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!”
Captioning the screenshot, Warhusrt wrote: “Women who do this to women. Too repulsed by my hair to eat her breakfast, but managing to bang out this vitriol.
“Apart from anything else I can’t bear inaccuracies - I think we can all agree my hair looked [heart-hands emoji].”
