Wiki Biography / Profile Background
Introduction :
Nina Louise Warhurst is a British Journalist and News Presenter. She has had a long and varied career as a journalist and currently works as a Business Presenter and Consumer Correspondent for BBC Breakfast.
Personal Life, Parents and Family Details :
- Nina Warhurst was born and raised in the Sale district of Manchester.
- Raised in a regular household, Nina grew up with a keen interest in the news and current affairs, as well as being fiercely independent and business-minded herself.
- She is now a resident of London, although she is very keen not to lose her northern roots.
- Currently, Nina lives with her husband Ted and her two children. She first met her husband in Tisno, Croatia in 2013, and the couple married a year later.
Education : Qualifications, High School & College Info
- Nina attended a Catholic HMC Independent College, the St Bede’s College in Manchester. She is now one of the institution’s most cherished and prominent alumnus.
- Leaving her hometown Manchester for the first time, Nina ventured further north to study for a Master of Arts degree in History and Politics at the Edinburgh University in Scotland. She graduated in 2004.
- After successfully completing her degree, she moved south back again and studied for her Certificate in Broadcast Journalism.
Career, Job, Salary and Net Worth :
- Nina’s first non-freelance job was surprisingly in Moscow, Russia in 2005, where she worked as a news desk producer for the network ‘Russia Today.’
- After returning to the UK, Nina continued to work freelance and had a short stint as a reporter at BBC East Midlands.
- Post this, she returned to Manchester & became the Political Reporter for BBC News North West. During this stint, Nina won the 2016 Royal TV Society award for the ‘Best Regional Journalist.’
- As she became a more recognisable and respected face in journalism, Nina was snapped up by the BBC on their secondment program and promoted to National correspondent for Business and Consumer News.
- In 2018, Ms. Warhurst commenced reporting for BBC Breakfast as a freelance contributor and subsequently assumed the role of a relief presenter whenever the regular hosts were unavailable. In October 2020, she was appointed as the primary business presenter for BBC Breakfast, succeeding Ms. Steph McGovern in the position.
- Over the course of her career, Nina has interviewed political bigwigs such as PM Theresa May, socialist leader Jeremy Corbyn amongst others.
Interesting Facts, Height and Trivia :
- Although working for the BBC, Nina remains very down-to-earth and very funny, often posting humorous comments as much as informative ones on her Twitter (now called X) account.
- She is still proud and close to her roots in the North, loves Football and the Rugby League, and as her tweet once said, “she loves a good buffet.”
- When Nina first moved to the field of journalism, she was worried that her northern accent would kill her dream of becoming a national broadcaster. Others too would advise her that she would have to change her vowel sounds, but she strongly resisted it.
- Nina’s most retweeted tweet came during her second pregnancy. The baby was born in April 2018, the same time as Kate Middleton had given birth to her third baby. Nina posted photos of her eating some hospital food alongside Kate and tweeted “You’re not the only one who exudes class 7 hours after having a baby, Kate…”.
Top Moments :
- Nina has often hits the headlines for her brilliant journalism. In 2018, she hit out at Carl Cashman, the Liberal Democrat candidate for the Liverpool City Region mayoral election, as he said the region should look out for the Brussels bloc.
- Carl was responding to comments made by Paula Walters, the chairman of UKIP Wirral, who said that the region would receive more money for investment after the UK exits the European Union. When he suggested unwisely that the UK should still try to avoid Brexit, she dynamically closed him down.
- Speaking on Sunday Politics North West, she said: “But what practically can you do? This is happening Carl, we are leaving the EU.” To which he had absolutely no reply, leaving the interview dead in the water, but depicting a brilliant act of realistic journalism by Nina.

Nina is Susanna Reid’s heir apparent. This is my opinion!
I like both Nina Warhurst and Lou Minchin!
Good looking, vivacious and enormously talented journalist and broadcaster. Seeing Nina on my T.V. in the morning adds a touch of early sparkle to my day. Love her.
Supercilious, condescending and overbearing journalist. Difficult to watch.
If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything. I find your comment a little offensive. If you care to look at her Wikipedia page you will see how much she is thought of by her colleagues and how many degrees she has in journalism.
Clearly very photogenic, however, Nina’s skills as a presenter outshine the fact that the camera likes her.
Stunning woman. Cheers me up every time I see her on TV
Every time You are on TV, it is a wow moment! You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!
Yes, well done Nina keep up the good work you have what it takes.
The sexiest female at the BBC.
Nina is very good and attractive so I hope to see more of her.
