Yellow snow warning? Someone’s taking the p**s
Along with the rest of the UK, she seemed to be preoccupied with the severe weather warnings which have been issued for this weekend, with snow being forecast as a ‘mini Beast from the East’ hits.
Sharing a snap of a serious-sounding news article warning of a fresh wave of bitter weather, Rachel was transfixed by one unfortunate choice of wording.
“Yellow snow warnings have been issues as a ‘mini Beast from the East’ is expected to hit the UK,” it read.
“Yellow snow warning?” she quipped. “Someone’s taking the p**s.”
The Met Office have predicted that parts of Scotland and England, in particular those in the east, could see snowfall today, while the rest of the country is expected to be hit tomorrow.
Up to five centimetres of snow could fall on low-lying ground tomorrow and up to 20 centimetres on high ground.
Amber warnings have been issued for the snow and ice.

Responding to a social media user who had made the remark, which has since been deleted, she said: “I get these kind of messages every day… Sorry but your opinion of my knees is of little interest.
The man then replied insisting that he was actually a huge fan of Rachel’s, saying: “Thanks lovely Rachel. Never had a reply from you before, after all these years making lovely comments, even running a Facebook #ClosedFanGroup for you with over 7000 members.
“Also donate and support all your favourite charities,” he added. “So loving you lots.”(sic)
The maths whizz was quick to write back, saying: “I do appreciate that thank you. Again, sorry I don’t mean to draw negative attention, just not too keen on being tagged into comments about how I look.
“Hope you understand.”
