BBC Breakfast viewers were greeted Nina Warhurst presenting the news programme by herself on Sunday as she offered the latest news live from the famous red sofa
BBC Breakfast’s Nina Warhurst had the rare task of hosting the morning programme solo.
Back on the familiar red sofa on Sunday (August 11), the 43-year-old anchor delved into global news stories solo, without the usual company of her colleagues.
This follows an incident from Wednesday’s (August 7) broadcast when Nina couldnt resist ribbing her colleague after he inadvertently used the “c-word” live on air.
With Ben Thompson and Sarah Campbell leading that day, they kicked things off with a discussion about the pitfalls of Buy Now, Pay Later services. Reporting on the issue was Nina herself, who expressed concerns from debt advice charities, echoing new Labour Party calls for stricter oversight on these financial products to better protect consumers.

Finishing her segment, she handed back to Ben who mentioned: “It’s really vital and dare I say it, people will be thinking about Christmas presents right? And spending now and wanting to spread that cost? “, reports the Mirror.
To which Nina interrupted: “I can’t believe you’ve mentioned the c-word. It’s August.”, said the Express. Ben casually replied, “It’s not that long.” prompting Nina to jest: “Someone is more organised than I am.”

In the most recent Bargain Hunt episode, Ben reminded viewers to brace for deeply “upsetting” scenes as Tuesday’s (August 6) programme touched upon a horrific case of modern slavery in Britain, involving a man who was held in bondage for more than two decades.
This individual triumphed over his grim past by successfully suing the government, resulting in a significant financial settlement. Enslaved for a quarter of a century at a traveller’s site controlled by the Rooney family, the anonymous man suffered along with others, forced into labour for meagre wages, subsisting on scraps, and even enduring physical violence when he didn’t comply.

His sister, relentlessly pursuing justice long after his ordeal ended, finally secured much-needed reparations, thus bestowing a measure of solace after years of anguish.
During the broadcast, Ben underscored the disturbing nature of the subject matter that was about to be presented to the audience.
