Nina Warhurst hits out at BBC Breakfast viewer over criticism about appearance

BBC Breakfast star Nina Warhurst has hit out at a viewer who critcised a dress she wore on the show on Monday morning.

Taking to Twitter, the presenter responded to a tweet that read: "Oh dear Nina! That sporty dress is a HUGE mistake! You look like an entertainer at a kids birthday party!"

In her response, Nina quipped: "Good to know it wasn't just a small mistake. Unkind comments should always be enhanced with CAPITAL LETTERS AND MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!"

The 42-year-old was met with a heap of supportive comments from her followers, who were quick to compliment the star.

One person wrote: "Nina I honestly thought you looked lovely this morning. As my Mother used to say if you can't say anything nice say nothing at all," while another added: "I thought you looked lovely as usual. I love the way you manage people who insult you. I love watching you on BBC Breakfast!"

Nina isn't afraid to hit back at social media trolls who criticse her online. Back in April, the business presenter responded to a viewer who said she was "wearing a pathetic grin" and asked if she had any "bright, sunny news" to report on.

Nina replied: "Love this. 'Can you be brighter and sunnier? I'll start by throwing some personal insults your way.' Have a lovely day, Stephen."

In the same month, she critcised a viewer who posted a negative comment about her hair on Twitter. Responding to the online troll, who said she looked "a mess" and asked her to "do something" with her hair, Nina 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]."
