Posting a screenshot of the message, Nina 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]."

Naga was quick to show her support for her co-star in the comments section, writing: "It looked fab x."

Nina was inundated with messages from her followers, who rallied around the presenter. One person wrote: "Omg. Your hair was 10/10 just like you! You beautiful human," while another added: "Nina, you look beautiful. You are a very pretty woman. Would she stand in front of you and say that to your face? Shame on her."

Actress Rachel Shenton, who stars in All Creatures Great and Small, also shared her support, tweeting: "The comment says far more about her than it does about your hair! (Which is great btw) xx."
