BBC Breakfast stars Nina Warhurst and Jon Kay were reunited this week - and they were joined by someone very special! 

Nina, who is currently on maternity leave, introduced her baby daughter to "uncle" Jon, and wasted no time sharing a sweet picture to capture the heartwarming moment.

Little Nancy, dressed in a blue tutu dress, was seen staring wide-eyed as she sat on the BBC journalist's lap. Nina simply wrote: "Uncle @jonkay01."

In response, Jon replied: "Lovely catching up with @ninawarhurst and meeting the latest member of the #bbcbreakfast fam." 

Nina, who is married to caterer Ted, welcomed her baby girl just months ago, and her arrival was announced by fellow presenters Jon and Sally Nugent on an episode of BBC Breakfast that aired on 3 July.
