Warhurst's colleagues Jon Kay and Lizzie Simmons also marked her return on Instagram Stories, writing "YAY! NINA'S BACK!!" and "My work bestie is back @ninawarhurst_ missed you x" respectively on their posts.

Nina and her husband Ted welcomed a baby girl named Nancy in July 2023. She shared some photos of the newborn a few days later, in a social media post marking the 10th anniversary of the day she and her husband first met.

In Warhurst's original pregnancy announcement, she gave viewers an insight into her journey so far.

"It's been a funky few months... involving intense migraines, vomiting, morning kebabs, first time acne, small acts of violence against fruit, afternoon kebabs, tears, spontaneous snoozes, anxiety and more kebabs," she revealed.

"I am settling in to the middle chunk (emphasis on chunk) and enjoying the wonders of Mother Nature and her tiny kicks and flutters. The boys and the cat have been enjoying their new chair. God willing, Baby Doner-Shish joins the outside world in the summer."

Nina also shared a heartfelt message for those who had lost a child in her post, writing: "I am blown away that we do this. And acutely aware of the privilege, born of nothing but fortune.

"Sending love to those who've had to say goodbye to the babies they lost and the ones they dreamed of."

BBC Breakfast airs every morning from 6am on BBC One.
