NICOLA Sturgeon joked that she had been left “mortified” by her outfit choice on Loose Women after realising it was the same one she wore during her resignation speech.
The First Minister appeared on the STV show where, shortly before she walked onto the set, a clip played of her announcing her intention to step down from her role at a press conference in Bute House.
“I’m mortified by the way. I’m utterly mortified”, Sturgeon said as she sat down.
It didn’t seem anybody had quite noticed though as all four panelists asked the First Minister what she meant.
Sturgeon explained: “I was watching that clip from my resignation speech off stage. I’m wearing the same jacket today.
"We love recycling," one panelist replied.

“Have I got time to go and change”, she joked.
During her appearance on the show, Sturgeon discussed a range of topics from the things she was most proud of as First Minister and the recent row over SNP membership.
She was also asked if she would take a similar route to former health secretary Matt Hancock, who was fiercely criticised for his decision to appear on I’m A Celebrity.
Sturgeon said she would absolutely not follow suit and joked that she wanted to be held to account on that.
She added that Strictly Come Dancing was also out of the question and that she couldn’t cook so that meant we won’t be seeing the outgoing SNP leader on The Great British Bake Off anytime soon either.
Before signing off though, she joked that she would maybe “consider” being part of Loose Women.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
