BBC Breakfast host praised for outfit change live on air at Grand National Ladies Day

A BBC weather presenter has received praise while undergoing an outfit change live at Aintree Racecourse.

One segment during Friday's BBC Breakfast saw hosts present live from the second day of the Grand National festival, where they spoke to many racegoers. Among them was milliner Janice Charles, who has long been designing headwear for Ladies Day.

She said: "I think Liverpool has always been really known for its fashion, on a daily basis anyway, but for Liverpool this is on par with Ascot now. People start looking for their outfits in about November because it is a big day for Liverpool."

She wore one of her own designs, as did her friend Charlotte, and she even loaned one to weather presenter Sarah Keith-Lucas, who had changed into the fascinator, having previously been wearing a more understated version.

The headwear featured a giant bee, and fans watching at home were clearly impressed. On X, formerly Twitter, Brian said: "Wow, Sarah, looking amazing" and Claire said: "Looking lovely, have a great day".

Blossom said: "Is that a bee or a hornet?" @foggymoss62 said: "Looking stunning Sarah, loved the bumble bee hat" and Chris said: "That bee hat is totally awesome!"
