BBC star brilliantly fires back after being told skirt is ‘too short for 44-year-old’
She called the viewer out.
BBC presenter Nina Warhurst expertly skewered a viewer for their ‘uninvited feedback’ on her appearance.
The X user had said the journalist’s skirt was ‘too short for a 44-year-old’ after watching her on News At One.
On her Instagram Stories, Nina responded: ‘When you briefly check back with Twitter/X because surely it can’t be the stream of uninvited feedback from men you don’t remember, and…oh hi there.’
The BBC viewer also exhibited snobbery towards Warhurst’s accent and said it was ‘pleasing’ there’s a ‘very positive move towards received pronunciation.’
Nina sarcastically quipped: ‘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.

Nina shared: ‘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.’
