BBC Breakfast presenter Nina Warhust has quit social media after deciding ‘enough is enough’.
The 43-year-old broadcaster has announced she is taking an online break, and she explained something had to give as she felt too busy for Instagram as she looks after her baby girl Nancy with husband Ed Fraser.
Nina returned to BBC Breakfast in January after her maternity leave, and now she has decided to step away from the social media site.
She wrote: ‘Signing off from Insta for a few weeks. I love this site. I don’t take myself, or the apparently perfect lives of others, too seriously.
‘I howl laughing every day from a scarily accurate meme. I connect with lovely people who I don’t get to see IRL. And there are loads of cats and babies.
‘Perhaps I love it too much… Because I’ve found myself scrolling all. The. Time. Catching up on people’s stories, having a nosey at how people live who have nothing to do with me, and (the absolute grossest) checking for likes… Enough is enough.
‘I’ve never had so many plates to spin, and this little chick needs my full attention more often. See you soon x x x x’
Nina welcomed her daughter into the world in July 2023, and she later opened up about the ‘tough’ delivery and ‘long’ recovery she had to go through.
She wrote: ‘4 snaplets of me and my Nance from each of the 4 weeks we’ve watched her slowly waking up to this world.
‘We’ve lost all sense of time as we’ve been feeding and snoozing and gazing and toe-stroking and head-smelling and marvelling at the absolute wonder of it all.
‘It’s been *haaaard* tho! A harder pregnancy. A tougher delivery and a longer recovery… maybe it’s being older… but also I’d somehow forgotten.’
Nina went on: ‘I’d forgotten the anxiety of labour moving from the plan.
‘I’d forgotten the swollen scars, bleeding breasts, mastitis fever, hormonal crashes, clots, constipation, codeine withdrawal, exhaustion…. And this time the added funk of a nose bleed (y tho?!)
‘But part of getting older is getting better aquatinted with your limits and letting go.
‘I’m better at stopping and saying no to visitors and yes to a messy house and yes to asking for help. (A turning point was full snot crying down the phone to the GP – resulting in a glorious prescription of kind words, antibiotics, painkillers and a follow up call about how I was coping ❤️).’
