The star was wearing a stylish beige suit in the photo she uploaded. 

Alongside it, she wrote: “I take the comparison to a Robert Palmer girl as a compliment. Those that have commented!” 

This was in reference to Robert's hit video for the single Addicted to Love.

The iconic video featured a series of back-up dancers wearing strong black eye make-up and red lips.

Kirsty decided in December to step back from her posting at GB News. 

The presenter made the decision following upsetting news about a health concern. 

Kirsty quit Sky News last year to join the news channel, co-hosting the Great British Breakfast since its launch in June. 

She penned: “During the summer I discovered I have a tumour in the inner canal of my right ear.

"Thankfully, it's benign and not hugely detrimental to my normal life.”

"However, the tumour has caused severe tinnitus which makes it very difficult to sleep.

"Sadly my 3am starts at GB News, compounded by sleep deprivation, are exacerbating my symptoms.

"I have taken the difficult decision to take a step back from my role on the Great British Breakfast while I focus on my health.

"GB News has been incredibly supportive of me and I look forward to returning to the channel as soon as I can.”
