BBC Breakfast’s Nina Warhurst left red-faced as she’s forced to admit she ‘wasn’t listening’ to co-star
BBC BREAKFAST’s Nina Warhurst was left red-faced as she was forced to admit she ‘wasn’t listening’ to her co-star.
The journalist and presenter, 42, joined Jon Kay and Sally Nugent live from Liverpool as the final preparations are underway for Eurovision.
Sally, 51, then told viewers that Nina would be based in the location for their dedicated coverage of the Song Contest.
She then jokingly made a pun but it fell on deaf ears.
Nina was too engrossed in a crafting workshop taking place to notice what her co-host had said.
Nugent had said: “Nina is in seventh heaven today, she is in Liverpool for the start of Eurovision week.
“And the contestant is already hitting all the right notes, isn’t it Nina, do you like what I did there?”
Replying to her, Nina said: “Oh, I’m so sorry Sally I wasn’t listening properly.”
The awkward exchange was also felt by viewers at home as well as the BBC Breakfast presenters.
Meanwhile, Nina looked almost unrecognisable as she shared a throwback snap showing her as a blonde.
The expectant mother took to her Instagram page to share the image which dated back 14 years.
Nina was seen with blonde shoulder-length locks parted on the side.
She beamed at the camera for a snap at a fancy event which saw her wearing a pretty nude patterned dress as she perched on a sofa.
The broadcaster posed alongside a youthful-looking Ben Boulos, 38 – her BBC Breakfast co-host who has previously filled in for show regular Naga Munchetty.
BBC News fans may recognise Ben as he’s a regular presenter for BBC World News.
Nina uploaded a current snap underneath, which showed her with her more recognisable brunette hairstyle as she sat beside Ben to present.
BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One and iPlayer.
