BBC<\/a> Breakfast presenter Nina Warhurst <\/a>was back on the sofa this morning after a few weeks off following her father’s death. <\/p>\n

The 44-year-old media personality was joined by her co-host Ben Thompson on this morning’s show as the pair covered the day’s biggest news, lifestyle and entertainment topics, including ‘phubbing’<\/a> (the act of snubbing someone by looking at your phone).<\/p>\n

In early July, the BBC News at One host shared the sad news of her father’s death after he was diagnosed with mixed dementia (Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia) in 2022. <\/p>\n

Alongside a black and white image of herself holding her dad’s hand, she shared a heartfelt post with followers paying tribute to her late father. <\/p>\n

‘My Dad died on Wednesday night. From Sunday me, my Mum and sisters spent precious time with him around the clock\u2026.singing, crying, laughing, sharing memories<\/p>\n

‘On his last day we had nursing home afternoon tea, chippy chips and wine together.<\/p>\n

‘He drifted away gently with me and Amy holding him and telling him to \u201cgo on ahead. We\u2019ll see you there soon.\u201d And he did. I had my hand on his heart as the ripples softened and stopped.<\/p>\n

‘A gentle end to a gentle life. So much love and laughter and sunshine across days I\u2019ll never forget<\/p>\n

‘He is in my mind all the time now as we adjust to a world without him in it. I can\u2019t quite accept that\u2019s real yet,’ she wrote at the time. <\/p>\n

‘But we think it\u2019s really important for anyone going through this to know that the end can be peaceful and beautiful.’<\/p>\n

Although the mum-of-three still occasionally appears on BBC Breakfast, in April she made a shift to a permanent role on BBC News at One after seven years on the morning news show. <\/a><\/p>\n

During her last episode as Money & Work presenter in April, her former co-presenter Jon Kay penned a farewell to her on social media. <\/p>\n

‘I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been to work with her since I joined Brekkie.<\/p>\n

‘She\u2019s one of the most talented, dedicated, versatile, fun and fearless people I know. She commits 100% to any story or issue she\u2019s covering. She always puts the audience first. And she\u2019s exactly the same off-air as she is on the sofa.<\/p>\n

‘Much as we\u2019ll miss her energy and smiles at 0445, we\u2019re all delighted for her that she can now have a little more sleep – and a bit more time at home with her wonderful family in the mornings. She\u2019ll be amazing at lunchtime x,’ he praised at the time.<\/p>\n

BBC Breakfast airs everyday from 6am on BBC One.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
