BBC Breakfast’s Nina Warhurst mortified after getting mistaken for being pregnant
BBC Breakfast's Nina Warhurst was left mortified after getting mistaken for being pregnant.
The 41-year-old regularly appears on BBC Breakfast either as the business correspondent or stand-in co-host.
But over the weekend Nina took to Twitter to share an update from something that happened off screen.
She tweeted: "I know people say London isn’t a friendly city, but someone just offered me a priority Tube seat thinking I’m pregnant, which I’m not. So that’s nice isn’t it."
One of Nina's followers replied: "Not sure to laugh or feel sorry for you. At least the gesture was there."
Nina, who is married to husband Ted and has two children, responded with a picture of a fry up and joked: "Blaming my tiny breakfast."

Another follower replied: "I think it’s the old lady look and not pregnancy because in their eyes you looked elderly.
Personally I think you look great. Honest."
Nina responded: "This is not helpful" alongside crying with laughter and old lady emojis.
Her story then prompted a number of her female followers to reply with their own mortifying experiences of people mistaking them for being pregnant on the London Underground.
A number of men also replied to share their embarrassment at getting it wrong too.
