BBC Breakfast star breaks social media silence to ask for fans’ help
A BBC Breakfast star has broken their social media silence to ask for fans’ help.
Many of the journalists on the BBC One show have an active social media presence.
But last month, Nina Warhurst revealed she was taking a break from the apps on her phone after she found herself scrolling endlessly.
However, she popped up on X – formerly Twitter – on Sunday evening to ask for her followers’ help.
She tweeted: “Afternoon all. Breaking my non-work social media hiatus to ask for recommendations for a girls’* weekend in the fine city of #Birmingham.”
Beside a tick emoji she added: “cocktails, curries, cosy pubs, interesting wanders” whilst next to a red cross she wrote: “having to shout or queue at dinner.”
She rounded off her tweet with: “(*ok we’re 43 but were girls when we met, so).”
Nina was immediately flooded with suggestions from her helpful fans, and she was quick to thank them.
Last month, Nina wrote on Instagram alongside a snap with baby daughter Nancy: “Ta Ta for now. Signing off from Instagram 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.
“I’ve never had so many plates to spin, and this little chick needs my full attention more often.
“(I also need to see if our friendship extends beyond the holiday planning and kitten memes @catpatfox @helenkavanagh @helenboylen).”
She added: “See you soon. And @samantha_metcalfe_mua, you best not have seen this post!”
