Katherine was wrapped up against the cold weather in a black coat, neon gloves and a bobble hat with cream, beige and tan stripes.

After discussing the GB men's upcoming curling semi-final, co-anchor Naga Munchetty spoke to Katherine about her hats.

She said: "Impressive bobble hat! How many have you got, and are you all [presenters] having a bobble hat off?"

Katherine replied: "Well I went to PyeongChang four years ago with two bobble hats, and that was a mistake. Because it turns out you're on TV every single day and you want a bit of variety!

"So I've brought seven bobble hats with me out to Beijing. And do you know what - I love them!"

However, she added: "But my sound man here, Graham, he's very rude about my bobble hat.

Naga's co-host John Kay reassured Katherine, telling her: "I'm a fan of that one, actually!

"And unlike [the others] you're not going for the bobble hat and scarf combo? Interesting - just going for it with the bobble hat."

But Naga joked: "Raise your game, Ms Downes - raise your game!"
