BBC Breakfast presenter Nina Warhurst has publicly challenged a troll who went to the effort to email her to criticise her apperance.
The local newsreader expressed her disappointment that a woman would go out of her way to spout abuse at another woman.
Nina shared a screenshot of an email she received which said ‘you look a mess’, but responded in the most graceful way possible.
The original email had said: “Please do something with your hair. You look a mess! We have to look at you while we are eating our breakfasts, for heavens sake!”
Nina wrote in a public response on Twitter, alongside a selfie with co-presenter John Kay showing off her very lovely hair: “Women who do this to women 🙁 Too repulsed by my hair to eat her breakfast, but managing to bang out this vitriol.
“Apart from anything else I can’t bear inaccuracies – I think we can all agree my hair looked [love heart hands].”
The Sale-born presenter has recently revealed she’s expecting her third child.
The public spat has drawn tonnes of support from others online, with Figen Murray writing: “Nina, you look beautiful. You are a very pretty woman. Would she stand in front of you and say that to your face? Shame on her.”
Rylan Clark wrote: “F*CK THEM . U look lovely x”
Sky’s Hayley McQueen said: “Wow, if that’s a bad hair day you should see mine sometimes, they best not switch over to SKy, i might make them actually sick haha. Some people are so strange!”
Journalist Maxine Gordon posted: “I was just thinking how fab your hair was this morning….and how fab u r looking in general. As well as being a totally naturally gifted broadcaster. #IgnoreTheTrolls.”
Someone else said: “You wouldn’t say this to someone’s face, so why hide behind an easily sent hateful message. #BeKindAlways.”
