BBC Breakfast presenter Nina Warhurst shared a heartwarming video of her father meeting her baby daughter.
The news anchor welcomed her third child with husband Ed Fraser last month. The happy couple were already parents to two sons, Digby, seven and Michael, five, but have now welcomed little girl Nance. Taking to her Instagram, Nina shared a sweet clip of her dad gently wiggling Nance's toes.
The proud grandfather whistled affectionately to his baby granddaughter. Nina captioned the cute video: "Still got it.” She also tagged @DementiaAdventures in the post, as her father suffers from the devastating illness. Chris was diagnosed with dementia last year and Nina, who has been a presenter on the BBC show since 2008, has spoken openly about how it has affected their family.

The presenter welcomed her third child last month (ninawarhurst_/Instagram)“Dementia is tightening its grip quite quickly now,” she wrote in a previous post. “Dad is losing some basic skills and is increasingly reluctant to go out.” Nance's birth was announced on BBC Breakfast back in July by anchors Sally Nugent and Jon Kay. "Some very exciting news now about our colleague Nina Warhurst," Sally said before adding: "Who we said goodbye to not very many days ago as she went off on maternity leave. She has welcomed a very healthy, beautiful baby girl."
The breakfast news programme went onto share a picture of the new mother and daughter moments after she was welcomed into the world as Jon gushed: "And there she is!" Jon went on to say: "Nina has told us the baby's name is a working progress, but the great news is they're all doing well after what Nina says was brilliant care from the team at St Mary's in Manchester," before adding: "Isn't she gorgeous?"

Sally continued: "I believe this as well - Nina said she's watching from home, morning, Nina! Along with the baby and two beautiful big brothers and she's very grateful for all the gorgeous messages she's had from people at home who are watching too. So she wants to pass on her thanks for everything - all the kind words people have said." "All our love to you and the family, Nina – that is fantastic, we're delighted for you," commented Jon.
Nina confirmed her pregnancy on Mother's Day and went on to work until just days before giving birth. Taking to social media, she issued a statement and explained that she had been suffering from "intense" symptoms which included migraines and vomiting. She said: "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.
"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."
