"I know people say London isn't a friendly city, but someone just offered me a priority Tube seat thinking I'm pregnant, which I'm not," she tweeted. "So that's nice isn't it [neutral-face emoji and tears of joy emoji]."

Nina, who shares two children with husband Ted, was inundated with messages of support with one writing: "Not sure to laugh or feel sorry for you. At least the gesture was there," to which she replied with a picture of her full English: "Blaming my tiny breakfast."
"I think it's the old lady look and not pregnancy because in their eyes you looked elderly. Personally I think you look great. Honest," another follower remarked.
Nina tweeted this message on social media
Nina responded: "This is not helpful [laughing face emoji]." Another suggested: "Maybe they know how hard you work and they thought you deserved a seat." A fourth post read: "Oh bless you! I have to say your response is delightful!"
One other person stated: "It's a nice gesture, I guess. Though I'd argue they need their eyes tested." Another post read: "You always look so fabulous Nina, so gorgeous! And I love your broadcasts - it may be that you just cast a huge shadow! Someone once remarked at a bbq that my wife was eating for two. In her 20s. Not good."
The journalist has been married to Ted - who works as a caterer - since 2014. They are parents to two children, Digby, six, and Michael, four.
