BBC Breakfast star Nina Warhurst is heartbroken following the death of her beloved father after he passed earlier this week. The 44-year-old TV presenter shared the news on her Instagram on Sunday. Nina posted a black-and-white photo of her and her dad holding hands, confirming the sad news. She explained how she spent three days by his side with her mum and sisters as they treasured the last moments. They enjoyed afternoon tea, chips and wine together before he passed. On Instagram, she wrote: 'My Dad died on Wednesday night. 'From Sunday me, my Mum and sisters spent precious time with him around the clock….singing, crying, laughing, sharing memories. 'On his last day we had nursing home afternoon tea, chippy chips and wine together. Nina added: 'He drifted away gently with me and Amy holding him and telling him to "go on ahead. We'll see you there soon." And he did. I had my hand on his heart as the ripples softened and stopped. 'A gentle end to a gentle life. So much love and laughter and sunshine across days I'll never forget. 'He is in my mind all the time now as we adjust to a world without him in it. I can't quite accept that's real yet. 'But we think it's really important for anyone going through this to know that the end can be peaceful and beautiful.' In the comments section, she was met with support from her followers. Her sister Amy said: 'It was beautiful. Aren't we lucky? Love you Nines x' Fans and friends alike left sweet comments under Nina's heartbreaking Instagram post on Sunday Another wrote: 'What the most beautiful and poignant post. So much love to you at a heartbreaking time xxx.' A third penned: 'So sorry for your loss x forever in your heart x locked in a bond eternally xxx.' The political editor's father battled with dementia, which she has previously spoken about. In a candid chat last year , she and her sisters Amy and Mel admitted they were still coming to terms with the toll it has already taken on his cognitive ability. Dementia, a degenerative condition with no known cure, commonly affects the brain's ability to think, remember, and function normally, with suffers typically losing their memories over time. Taking to Instagram last year, Warhurst admitted she was devastated after her father failed to recognise her. Sharing a photo of herself and Chris, she wrote: 'My Dad. I missed him so much this week. Dementia means he's here, but not here. Today was the first time he couldn't quite place me. 'Then he got out a new glasses case. He was clearly chuffed with it but knew it was funny to be chuffed with a new glasses case. 'In some ways, he taught me to laugh. Properly from the tummy. And to laugh at myself.' She added: We're all holding on to those deep-rooted connections for as long as we can. Dementia isn't the end. It's the start of a new chapter. 'So much respect for his key worker today who told me that it's all about cherishing those connections, instead of missing the ones we've lost. The staff are superstars and it means the world.'

BBC's Nina Warhurst fiercely snaps back at viewer's harsh remark about her appearance
BBC News host Nina Warhurst has hit back at a viewer's remark about her accent and choice of outfit as she took to social media to respond. BBC News presenter Nina Warhurst has fiercely clapped back at a viewer's unsolicited remark regarding her accent and her choice of outfit. After recently taking the helm at BBC's News at One and often presenting on BBC Breakfast, Nina responded to a harsh comment that surfaced online. Taking to Instagram to share the viewer's message, the 44-year-old shared the message with her 46k social media followers. The comment stated: "Just wondering if @NinaWarhurst has an opinion on what constitutes TOO short a skirt for a 44-year-old. Anyway, it's pleasing there's a very positive move towards 'received' pronunciation." However, the broadcaster appeared to not be in the mood to just let the remark slide. Alongside condemning the viewer's words, Nina also posted her own reply, Leicestershire Live reports. She penned: "When you briefly check back in with Twitter/X because surely it can't be the stream of uninvited feedback from men that you remember... oh hi there. (Translation: if you're gonna look like an old trout, it's more acceptable if you don't sound Mancunian. Noted.)". Last year, the former BBC Breakfast presenter quit social media after hitting breaking point. She took a break from her online platforms, saying: "Enough is enough". At the time Nina said: "Signing off from Insta for a few weeks. I love this site. I don't take myself, or the apparently perfect lives of others, too seriously. "I howl laughing every day from a scarily accurate meme. I connect with lovely people who I don't get to see IRL. And there are loads of cats and babies. "Maybe I love it too much… Because I've found myself scrolling all. The. Time. Catching up on people's stories, having a nosey at how people live who have nothing to do with me, and (the absolute grossest) checking for likes… Enough is enough." The incident follows Nina's significant career move from BBC Breakfast to the BBC News at One, although she still sometimes makes appearances on the morning programme. The mum-of-three has been a well known face on the Breakfast team for seven years, becoming a staple on the iconic red sofa and reporting from various locations. She revealed her new role in March, telling viewers: "I'll be hanging up the high-viz and hairnet for a wee while as I join the BBC's News at One." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
