It's been one whole year since Nina Warhurst welcomed her little girl Nance into the world and the BBC Breakfast star celebrated the occasion with a baptism for her baby. 

Taking to Instagram, the business presenter posted a carousel of images from the special day, including one of Nance during her baptism ceremony and another of Nina and her family surrounded by their loved ones.

"Birthday baptism for my best girl," the journalist began. "Day of joy and love and cheese butties and a conga and a 'kids disco' (ambushed by the grown-ups to bring a high Jarvis count). 

"Lucky her and lucky us that she's been born with so many strong arms and tiny hands all around ready to scoop her up and lead the way."

The mum-of-three added: ".... also she loved being centre of attention and even mastered the upside-down hair advert pose. I don’t know *where* she gets it from."

Fans flocked to the comments section to heap praise on the gorgeous photos, with one person writing: "Absolutely marvellous, such beautiful children and great memories," while another added: "Gorgeous. Bless her and all your beautiful family Nina!"

Nance's arrival was first announced on BBC Breakfast last July. Watch the sweet moment in the video below.

Nance's first birthday comes amid an exciting change for Nina, who recently became a main presenter of the BBC One O'clock News following its move from London to Salford.

The 43-year-old will host the show alongside an array of other familiar faces, including her BBC Breakfast co-stars Sally Nugent and Jon Kay, as well as Ben Brown, Anna Foster, and Tina Daheley.

After hosting her first show earlier this month, Nina marked the major moment on Instagram. 

"The BBC's One o'clock news has been a part of my life FOREVER," began the star.

"Breaking up the day in school holidays (well it *was* on before Neighbours), watching every day at University ('studying' politics away from the lecture hall), on maternity leave, at home after an early shift …. It's been one of those mental markers that punctuate the day for as long as I can remember," she continued.

"I remember the first time my regional news report made it on to, 'The One',  and the first time I joined the programme presenting the regional bulletin… it felt part of something big and special."

Nina went on to explain how she'd hosted her first show alongside two other new colleagues. "Today I presented it for the first time, it was Tracey's first time on cameras, and Jack's first week managing the studio floor," wrote the journalist. "We are all very proud that this institution has come to Salford (the faces say it all!) and very grateful to our London colleagues for nurturing a brilliant programme and sharing it with us.

"We promise to look after it."
