BBC Breakfast IN TEARS – Nina Warhurst RETURNS on air – Opens Up about FINAL MOMENTS with her father, moving viewers to Tears and Support!

BBC Breakfast host Nina Warhurst has made her comeback to the show following the d3ath of her father.

The long-running programme returned to screens on Sunday (August 3) with Ben Thompson and Nina back at the helm.

It has been a difficult few weeks for Nina, who announced recently that her beloved father sadly d13d in a care home on July 2 following a lengthy battle with dementia.

Alongside a black-and-white photo of Nina’s hand intertwined with her father’s, she wrote: “My Dad d13d on Wednesday night. From Sunday me, my Mum and sisters spent precious time with him around the clock….singing, crying, laughing, sharing memories. On his last day we had nursing home afternoon tea, chippy chips and wine together.

“He drifted away gently with me and Amy (Nina’s sister) holding him and telling him to ‘go head. We’ll see you there soon.’ And he did. I had my hand on his heart as the ripples softened and stopped.

“A gentle end to a gentle life. So much love and laughter and sunshine across days I’ll never forget. He is in my mind all the time now as we adjust to a world without him in it.

“I can’t quite accept that’s real yet. But we think it’s really important for anyone going through this to know that the end can be peaceful and beautiful.”

Fans at the time rallied around Nina with support. One person wrote: “Oh my darling, this is such sad news. He seemed like a beautiful soul.” Another added: “So sorry, dear Nina and family. You did him proud. Always.”
