BBC Breakfast’s Nina Warhurst’s bold realisation after triple heartbreak

Nina Warhurst has welcomed viewers on BBC Breakfast for almost ten years, but it was disappointing to learn that the 44-year-old had decided to leave the show’s flagship. Steph McGovern became the show’s main business presenter in 2020 after beginning to produce reports for it in 2018. She would later become the host of Steph McGovern’s own, now-retired, Channel 4 show.

Nina has frequently taken the helm of BBC Breakfast and hosted the program alongside Jon Kay and Sally Nugent, among other notables.

However, she confirmed earlier this week that she would be joining BBC News at One in addition to her Twitter followers. We’ve looked back on Nina’s career and the heartache she’s endured while she’s on the red sofa ahead of her final day…

Nina and Ted
The couple has three children under the age of three (Instagram).

In the 1990s, Nina began acting in programs like Casualty and the ITV series Butterly Collectors.

The actress then transitioned to Channel M before starting to work for Russia Today, a Moscow-based station. She then became a BBC presenter until 2010 and has remained there ever since.

Nina began her career at the Beeb by hosting regional news programs like North West Tonight and Sunday Politics in the North West. Additionally, Nina has covered other news. She also covered the 2016 World Cup with BBC Sport and served as a political editor for BBC North West in 2016.

Four years later, she wrote on social media that she was “so excited to formally join the BBC Breakfast team because I have always loved it both as a viewer and a journalist.”

However, Nina was losing her job as her career was gaining momentum.

The mother-of-three experienced heartache in 2023 when she lost three of her family members in a few months.

Nina's last day at BBC Breakfast will be soon

She shared a photo from the emotional day and told her followers that she had “three goodbyes” to people she “loved very much.

On a gorgeous sunny day in Bath, guests were prohibited from wearing black, according to Nina, who claimed the service, which was dubbed a “memorial celebration” took place.

“With my Mum and sisters at a memorial celebration yesterday (no black please)” wrote the journalist. In the last few months, we’ve said goodbye to people we’ve loved a lot.

And they have always loved us because they guided us, laughed at us, and provided security for us. Although it’s been agonizing, I was moved by the special elders of your extended village’s support, regardless of what they are.

Nina’s father, Chris, was diagnosed with dementia last year, and she had a difficult time going through it. She’s previously expressed her regret for being irritated by his memory loss.

Nina acknowledged that she occasionally had to tell him white lies when he didn’t even notice there was a problem after working on a BBC dementia piece with him.

Ted Fraser, Nina’s partner, and they were married in a beautiful ceremony in New York in 2014, have supported her throughout difficult times. They have two sons, Digby and Michael, and a daughter, Nancy, who was born in 2023.

Nina addressed the birth of her daughter on social media, saying, “It’s been *hard* tho! a more difficult pregnancy I’d had to wait longer to recover from my injuries, perhaps due to my older age, but also because I’d forgotten.

She also shared her concerns about the labor going wrong and how she dealt with a variety of postpartum issues.

The actress regularly updates her social media followers on her extended family and defends her decision to return to BBC Breakfast at the age of six.

Mbappe double at Villarreal takes Real Madrid top of LaLiga

Real Madrid rallied to defeat Villarreal 2-1 and move temporarily to the top of the LaLiga standings thanks to Kylian Mbappe’s two goals.

When Alex Baena’s corner was deflected by Aurelien Tchouameni, Juan Foyth scored from close range, the hosts opened the scoring on Saturday in the seventh minute.

Real Madrid equaled ten minutes later when Mbappe seized on Brahim Diaz’s blocked shot and the ball landed at his feet for a close finish.

Six minutes later, Lucas Vazquez slotted home from a pass and scored his 20th league goal of the year.

Mbappe latched on to Vinicius Jr.’s through ball in the second half, but the offside flag was raised.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti referred to Wednesday’s grueling Champions League shootout victory over city rivals Atletico Madrid as the final time we’ll play a game with less than 72 hours of rest.

Real leads the table with 60 points, three clear of second-placed Barcelona, who are still playing after their game against Osasuna was postponed last week and will face third-placed Atletico on Sunday.

Kylian Mbappe scores his second goal for Real Madrid on March 15, 2025, at Villarreal’s Estadio de la Ceramica.

Pakistan lose first T20 against New Zealand despite Khushdil Shah heroics

In their first T20 international against New Zealand in Christchurch, Pakistan suffered a nine-wicket defeat after failing to defend a respectable score of 91.

The tourists lost their way at 11-4 at the end of the fifth over after dominating paceman Kyle Jamieson slammed into the new ball, which was their disastrous opening five-game series.

The home side responded with a score of 92-1 from just 10.1 overs, but they were ultimately dismissed for their lowest T20 score on New Zealand soil.

After being named later as the match’s man, Jamieson took three of the opening four wickets to finish with a 3-8 overall record.

Later in the innings, Jacob Duffy, who had previously claimed the game-best T20 numbers of 4-14 with 3. 4 overs, came back to sweep up the tail.

After being sent in on a Hagley Oval pitch offering early life, with only three players reaching double figures, Pakistan never recovered from their top-order collapse.

Top-scorer Khushdil Shah, who scored 18 and added 46 for the fifth wicket for the visitors after registering three sixes in his 32 balls with newly installed captain Salman Agha, scored the opener.

Before the innings was over, Jahandad Khan had eight balls to be bowled before the run-a-ball was overthrown.

In a 95-run defeat in Wellington in 2016, Pakistan had its lowest T20 score before that of New Zealand, which was 101 all out.

With 44 off 29 balls, New Zealand’s opening ace Tim Seifert struck seven fours and one six, giving it a fast start.

The chase was completed by Tim Robinson’s 18th over ball and Finn Allen’s 29th.

On Tuesday, Dunedin will host the second game.

Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne’s statement in full as they split

The former couple’s statement regarding their split comes just hours after the shocking news of the shocking split of TV stars Jacqueline Jossa, 32, and Dan Osborne.

The pair, who have eight years of marriage, have two children and are the parents of one of Dan’s children. However, it just wasn’t meant to be because Dan, 33, is alleged to have left the family home just last week, months after the couple were reported to have been “shocked” by rumors that they had split.

The pair, who have endured unfavorable rumors about their relationship for a while, publicly denied their split in January 2025. The pair have now issued a statement pleading for “respect and privacy” and saying that “their children remain their top priority.”

Jacqueline and Dan are managing their affairs in private, according to the couple’s statement, which read “They are choosing to keep their lives and relationships private.”

They kindly request privacy and respect as they navigate this together, it added. Their children are always in charge, surrounded by both parents’ love and care, a quality that will never improve.

“Above all, Jacqueline and Dan are concerned about their children’s best interests. There won’t be any more comments.

Dan was seen smiling and posing in photos online just hours before the bombshell news, according to a report from a previous report. Even with Jacqueline sharing photos of her weekend activities, the caption was “Saturday.”

Lauren Branning and Dan, who became famous on The Only Way Is Essex, were wed in 2017 at a Cheshire manor house. Ella, 9, and Mia, 6, are proud parents of the couple, and Dan and his ex-partner share Tommy, 11, as parents.

Their family home was put on the market earlier this year, with reports suggesting Dan had purchased a home nearby in his own name. She set the record straight last year when she broke up their marriage after receiving accusations of infidelity from Dan and another split.

Jacqueline revealed a unique insight into her marriage last year. She gushed, “Just realized I haven’t even posted on the grid about Daniel’s bday or our anniversary and I just wanted to do a little appreciation post for my best friend in the world.” She shared a string of loved-up snaps with her husband. 7 of them married after 10 years. I adore you more than ever. Isn’t that a crazy little world. It’s also amazing how little photos we take right now. More is required! “!

The turbulent past of Dan and Jacqueline dates back to 2015, when Dan was accused of acting inappropriately around a famous model. In later years, more allegations of infidelity involving former Love Island contestant Gabby Allen surfaced. Although Jacqueline had claimed that she had managed the problems, the rumors reportedly caused tension in their union.

Love Island’s Gaby Allen hit with huge debt after dad’s death – then something incredible happened

Gabby Allen, the winner of the Love Island: All Stars, is still feeling good after winning the ITV series, but her victory comes after painful personal heartache.

The 33-year-old reality star first gained notoriety in 2017 when she competed in ITV’s Love Island’s third season, finishing fourth behind Marcel Somerville, 39, in the same category. After winning the show and winning the £50, 000 prize, Gabby and Casey O’Gorman, 28, returned to the villa earlier this year.

However, Gabby was left devastated more than ten years ago when her father, Mike, passed away when she was just 21 years old. She has since revealed her heartbreaking loss to the Mirror about his death, which has long been a secret.

She stated, “We lost everything when Dad passed away, not just him.” The home, the business. Domino effect was created by it. Gabby described his health problems as the “worst thing you can get” and his father had a brain tumor. He was gone within ten months of receiving his diagnosis.

Casey O’Gorman and Gabby won the second season of Love Island: All Stars on ITV/REX/Shutterstock last month.

According to Gabby, “it was 10 months of someone essentially losing their mind and deteriorating in front of you,” making the mental deterioration that followed made it worse. Gabby believes her mother and younger brother kept her safe during the darkest times because she was away studying drama at the time. She reveals that she “always felt guilty that I wasn’t there at the time.” However, his passing marked the family’s financial and emotional nightmare.

His business left him in a sizable debt, and because he didn’t, his mother was left with debts she didn’t even realize existed. However, she explains that Mum was the guarantee for everything. She didn’t realize what was happening until it was too late. She had to declare bankruptcy. She also lost her own company. It was “absolutely awful”.

In the years that followed, Gabby found herself juggling several jobs to stay afloat. I was attempting to have a little bit of freedom while teaching fitness classes and assisting my mother. Then, at age 25, Love Island called, changing everything for her. I never anticipated a life-changing performance from a show. I anticipated going on it for a week, coming out alone or with someone, possibly having a few more PT clients, or being more in demand… but the opportunities and freedom that came with it gave us so much more.

If I won, people questioned what I would do with the money I’d earned from Love Island. After a few years of absolute hell, I just wanted to give my mother some rest and a good night’s sleep. I don’t know what our future would have looked like if I hadn’t visited Love Island.

Gabby has clarity now greater than ever when she leaves the villa for a second time. I have the highest level of education and strength. She confidently says, “I am exactly who I am now.” She is also aware that some people have distorted perceptions of reality TV personalities. People have a notion of Love Island’s typical person. I didn’t mean to say that my life was difficult; instead, I had a fantastic childhood. Then it was all taken away. Just before I started the show, that period of my life changed who I am.

Gabby’s main focus is currently on her fitness empire. Her wellness program, Shape Up, has grown to include a full-fledged online community. She explains that I’m assisting thousands of women in a 360-degree wellness program. Gabby has transformed Shape Up into a thriving brand since launching it in 2020. In the platform’s history, our launch day was the biggest ever, accompanied by my new Island Body Program. My mind was blown! She claims that she used the program when I was in the best shape of my life before returning to the villa.

It is not stalling either. I hope everyone will enjoy my story because it will demonstrate that having a disability at some point in my life and working as a fitness expert will help you do it. I want to transform the lives of so many more people, like “Gabby adds” does. I want to hold more retreats, broaden my focus on nutrition and mindfulness, and foster a supportive environment for women. Part of that is through community and a journey of connecting with like-minded individuals.

Inside Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott’s home – as she buys one round the corner

It has been revealed that Zara McDermott has purchased her own property, which is located just off the corner of the home they shared earlier this year.

Sam, 32, and Zara, 28, who rose to fame after playing the lead in Love Island, shared a West London mansion with Louise, Sam’s famous sister, and their partner.

Before the couple split, they posted updates on their home improvement projects on their Instagram account, @thethompsonproject. It has 137, 000 followers, many of whom were interested in learning more about how the couple designed their home, set up each room, and incorporated their personalities into their daily lives.

A specially selected round table is set up in the dining room.

The couple described the bathroom as “perfection” because of the large bath there.

The couple’s “set up of dreams” was the couple’s favorite room in their home, which they referred to as “the set up of dreams.” The back of the room had fluffy stools, drink shelves, and contemporary hanging lights, as well as a plush carpet and cozy sofa.

The large bathtub, which they called “perfection,” had walk-in showers, marble-effect lighting, and a large bathtub.

The neutral theme of the house was retained in the bedroom.

The couple added lavender, faux grass, and a neutral patio with grey and white sun loungers along the perimeter. We have never imagined having a garden this beautiful because we adore the garden so much.

Sam’s room had shelving, a desk, and a wall-mounted TV in addition to the property. Sam spent a lot of time in the space, so Zarag said it was crucial for them to make it “feel beautiful” as well as masculine.

She noted on Instagram that the desk, the centerpiece, “fell beautifully luxurious, heavy duty, and gives a slight industrial feel,” while adding that the antique bronze on the wall panels and switches also look great together.

A ” snug area ” with a large L-shaped cream sofa and statement art on the walls, was also present. The lounge had a large TV on the wall and cozy furniture.

A round table with six seats for hosting was located in the dining room. We requested a round table because we believed it would fit the space, and this one complements our color scheme perfectly. She claimed that because all of the home’s light switches and sockets were bronze, the base had an antique bronze detail that matched the rest.

According to a source, Zara reportedly purchased her new home for £500,000. They claimed that she purchased the two-bedroom apartment under her business name two weeks ago, which is located in a desirable neighborhood and, strangely, close to where she shared a room with Sam. However, it will be very awkward when they cross paths at a coffee shop or a neighborhood pub.
