BBC Breakfast presenter Nina Warhurst was all smiles on her X page today as she posed with one of the show's guest Adam Bricklebank and his mum as part of a segment focused on business owners aged 25 and under. The 43-year-old host was pictured with her arm around proud mum Adele who stood next to her son at his cafe in Leeds.

Alongside the picture on her page, she wrote: "Proud Mum moment," alongside a teary-eyed emoji. "You would be if your son left school early and opened a thriving cafe by the age of 22. We are with Adam & other under 25s proving the cynics wrong as young people in the UK are some of the most economically active in the developed world @BBCBreakfast."

Many of her 47,000 followers took to the comments section to share their thoughts, as one wrote: "Your son will be the next high powered no nonsense businessman. Good luck to him. Looking great Nina after your stint on the sofa."

A second wrote: "Nina looking gorgeous," while a third wrote that shedding light on such a topic for "lovely young people" was "great".

During the segment, Nina caught up with Adam who made the decision to pull out of sixth form to set up his own cafe as he declared it was better to learn away from the classroom. The young businessman went on to share his tips on how to secure the backing of a bank and why real life experience was important.

Nina took a step back from the sofa to front the topic as part of Tuesday's show hosted by Sally Nugent and Jon Kay.

Following her latest stint, many viewers have called for her to present the programme more often.

A platform X user commented: "Hello @BBCBreakfast. I think you should give Nina Warhurst a full time role on the programme, she’s too good and not on enough for my liking. #BBCBreakfast."

"#BBCBreakfast How lovely to see Nina on the sofa this morning," another wrote.

A #BBCBreakfast Nina definitely is the number 1 female presenter she is so easy to relate to," a sixth added.

The presenter has been a regular face on the show since 2018 and was appointed as BBC Breakfast’s Business Presenter four years ago.

Away from her hosting duties, Nina juggles being a mum-of-three to sons Digby and Michael and 11-month-old daughter Nancy, with her husband Ed Fraser.

The presenter regularly gives fans an insight into her family life on her social media pages, where she has a combined 60,000 followers.

Amongst the content, Nina shares updates about her father Chris, who was diagnosed with Dementia in 2022.

In a video shared last month he was was seen cradling and talking to her youngest during a visit, which prompted many fans to gush over the adorable moment.

In a montage of clips, the presenter told fans her dad "speaks his own language now and she follows" and copied his hand gestures, alongside a caption which read: "Grandad chats are the best."

BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
