BBC Breakfast’s Nina Warhurst admits family are ‘struggling’ after ‘very anxious few months’ in rare personal update

BBC Breakfast's Nina Warhurst has admitted her family are 'struggling' after a 'very anxious few months' in a rare personal update.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Nina shared a selfie of her wearing a face mask as she enjoyed some much needed pampering.

The BBC Breakfast star wrote in a lengthy caption alongside it: "It’s been a very anxious few months for me and my family.

"We are finally coming up for air and last night I had chance to take stock.

"I looked around my bedroom. I was wearing a beauty mask, given to me by a colleague who had seen my skin is suffering.*

"There is the box of Maltesers, posted by a friend after I said I feel too guilty to send myself treats."

"There are the microwaveable slippers (you read it right) sent by friends after I complained my feet are always cold."

She continued: "The are the candles, the bath salts, the pound shop toe heaters, the home made card, the massage voucher, the novel selected to be just the right level of page turn-y, and a phone full of messages 'just checking in'.

"There are so many friends and relatives who gently leaned in to love us over the last few months. Thank you thank you thank you. It made us feel seen and supported when we needed it most.

"There were also the friends we didn’t hear from because they didn’t want to impose. I understand that reservation and everyone’s different.

"But for me, a small gesture or message to say someone is in your thoughts is never wasted.

"It’s enough to keep the heart (and the toes) warm enough to keep going forward. Even when it doesn’t feel possible."

Referring back to her face mask, she signed off saying: "*sorry for the creepy photo. It’s actually less scary than my real skin RN."

Nina immediately received messages of support from her followers, with one writing: "Oh that's such a shame, when you're on telly, you're always so cheerful and ready with a smile. Hope things improve for you soon."

Another added: "Beautiful words Nina. Had no idea."

A third shared: "Hope you are ok you are one of my favourite news people. Take care of yourself."
