In a post on Twitter, the TV presenter shared a screenshot of the horrible email she’d received. It read: “Please do something with your hair. You look a mess! We have to look at you while we are eating our breakfasts, for heavens sake!”

Captioning the screenshot, Warhusrt wrote: “Women who do this to women. Too repulsed by my hair to eat her breakfast, but managing to bang out this vitriol.

“Apart from anything else I can’t bear inaccuracies - I think we can all agree my hair looked [heart-hands emoji].”
