"I'll be hanging up the high-viz and hairnet for a wee while as I join the BBC's News at One," she penned alongside a photo taken in the show's studio, alongside a throwback snap of the journalist from her early days on BBC Breakfast.Â
"The second photo was almost exactly seven (!) years ago," continued the mum-of-three. "I was heavily pregnant, very nervous, and unbelievably excited to be offered a few shifts on the national broadcast treasure that is @bbcbreakfast … @stephlunch took time to show me the ropes and help me feel at home.
Nina Warhurst joined BBC Breakfast in 2018
"The job was made permanent as we came out of a lockdown and began looking around and wondering how we might pick up the pieces to heal and live again. It's been a privilege to help support our audiences through this tumultuous time. I am always amazed by those who invite us in to share their stories.
"When I was a teenager hoping to work in journalism, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine there’d be all these opportunities half a mile from my Salford home. Our London colleagues built a gem of a lunchtime programme and I can’t wait to work with our amazing team as we take it forward."
Nina regularly steps in for the main hosts
She concluded: "Ps - I'll still be popping up on the red sofa - if only to continue torturing Roger with my stories of air frying and washing lines."
The comments section was quickly inundated with messages of congratulations, including from Morning Live star Gethin Jones, who penned: "Congrats Neeeeeen xx," while Steph McGovern added: "Awww amazing."
