Former BBC Breakfast presenter Nina Warhurst has updated her followers after sparking concern.
The newsreader has been a staple on screens since joining the broadcaster in 2010, and has been a business and consumer presenter on BBC Breakfast.
In May 2024, Nina began presenting BBC News at One and became its lead presenter the following year.
However, during broadcasts this week, Nina sparked concerns over her appearance, as fans questioned why she wasn’t wearing any make-up on one side of her face.
She took to Instagram to address the messages, explaining she had been advised to let her eye rest.
Nina wrote: “Thanks for the concerned msgs about my asymmetrical mush.
