She has, however, experienced the downside of fame – and recently addressed criticism she receives from viewers about her outfits on Breakfast.
Referencing her co-host Charlie Stayt, she told the Radio Times: "I get more comments than Charlie but I think also that is because men just wear suits, so there isn't really too much to object to.
"Whereas I don't wear suits and buy my own clothes. So inevitably people think they can comment on what I wear."

The TV host has frequently shown that she isn't afraid to respond to abusive comments online. Last year, she hit back at a negative remark from a Twitter troll that read: "God I hate that woman with a passion @DefundBBC."
The journalist jokingly replied: "Ooh. You are passionate about me… Am taking it. X."
