Late last month, the presenter became the talk of social media for wearing a yellow and pink dress, which had viewers comparing her to a battenberg cake.

Unbeknownst to her, she had a kindred spirit in the Scottish Premiership side, who caused quite a stir earlier this summer when they released a Rose and Primrose away top designed to honour the 5th Earl of Rosebery.

Hearts’ marketing team decided to send the BBC presenter a replica of the shirt, which she duly donned on its arrival.

Walker tweeted: “Remember that Battenberg dress @louiseminchin wore? Well, @JamTarts have sent a new 1, & a matching tie.”

Minchin then added: “I love this shirt. Battenburg dress move over thank you @JamTarts it is fantastic.”

Hearts marketing officer Dylan Kelly replied: “Great stuff Louise, glad it got there ok. If you manage to make it along to a game there’s a matching scarf too.”
