Nina shared a fan’s emotional post
In the original post written by one of Nina’s adoring fans, it said: “Having a coffee in the garden sunshine. Reflecting on the article @ninawarhurst_ did for BBC Breakfast news this morning on dementia.”
The fan went onto add that Nina had allowed them to be truly seen by continuing: “Feeling truly seen & not as alone about caring for my mum who has Alzheimer’s, some of the phrases used resonate so hard I had a small cry.”
It was clear that the post left Nina, 42, feeling overwhelmed and emotional as she posted it for her followers to see.
Nina told her fan: “This means the world xxx.”
The BBC Breakfast report left fans in floods of tears when it aired yesterday morning.
Nina has been incredibly open about the impact the degenerative disease has had on her dad Chris and the rest of their family since his diagnosis in 2022.
The soon-to-be mum-of-three, who recently let slip the gender of her unborn baby, has put together a series of short features with the BBC interviewing other families going through the same thing.
After speaking about her father’s deteriorating condition on the breakfast show earlier this year, Nina was contacted by many other people who are also experiencing the devastating reality of living with a parent who has dementia.
Earlier this month Nina went into detail about her dad Chris – who was diagnosed with dementia in 2022 – and the special bond she shares with him.
The 42-year-old journalist addressed the immediate impact her father Chris’s degenerative symptoms have had on her and her two sisters, Amy and Mel.
She said: “He would phone me 10 times a day, saying ‘I need you to come round’ and then I’d get there and he would say ‘What are you doing here?’
“At that point, it is hard not to be cross and that was the surprising thing, I felt really guilty because I was getting angry with him.”
