Nina Warhurst’s love of journalism and politics started early; she took A-Levels in English Literature, History and Politics, before graduating with a first-class degree in History and Politics from the University of Edinburgh, and gaining a postgrad diploma in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Westminster.

Nina Warhurst Acting Career

Her first roles on screen were not as a presenter. Instead, she began her career as an actress, appearing in Casualty (1997), Heartbeat (1998) and Butterfly Collectors (1999).

Nina Warhurst Journalist

Her journalism career began in Moscow, presenting for Russia Today, before joining the Guardian’s regional channel, Channel M, and then the BBC in 2010. She has since gone on to present for a variety of BBC channels and programmes, covering a wide range of topics from business to sport.

Nina is often seen presenting on location, anywhere from a factory to a farm to Downing Street; she has interviewed three UK Prime Ministers.

Her work has also seen her travel as far afield as Argentina, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Israel, Russia and the West Bank. She once became stranded with the Royal Navy off the coast of Libya when covering the fall of Colonel Gadaffi.

In 2023, she became the main host of BBC’s official Eurovision podcast, Eurovisioncast, alongside Eurovision 2015 winner Måns Zelmerlöw, BBC News Eurovision reporter Daniel Rosney, and BBC Radio Merseyside’s Ngunan Adamu. The podcast aims to give listeners the inside gossip on the competition, particularly regarding the unique experience the UK has in 2023 of hosting the event on behalf of Ukraine.

When she’s not at work, Nina is busy looking after her children, her cat, a house renovation, and a father with dementia.
