HEARTS have sent BBC newsreader Louise Minchin a replica shirt after she wore a similar looking dress on Breakfast.
The presenter had been inundated with comments when she recently wore a dress that viewers thought resembled a Battenberg cake.
She tweeted: “I love this shirt. Battenberg dress move over thank you @JamTarts it is fantastic.”

Fellow presenter Dan Walker also received modelled a matching pale pink and yellow tie.
The shirt, which is part of this season’s Hearts away kit, received mixed reviews when it was launched earlier this year.
Along with the Battenberg comparisons, it was also suggested that it was influenced by Mr Blobby and Fruit Salad sweets.
The real reason behind the colour scheme is a tribute to the 5th Earl of Roseberry who became Prime Minister in 1894 and was also SFA President and Honorary President of Hearts.
He owned racehorses who wore the colours yellow and pink.

Dan's never looked smarter with his matching Roseberry tie & pocket square. Fashionable but steeped in history too
