She showed her sense of humour by adding a GIF of comedy actress Maya Rudolph sarcastically winking and blowing kisses.
Fans reacted to the post with their support, with one Twitter user commenting: "Storm you’re fabulous!!! Strong, gorgeous, independent, Scottish girl and I think you’re a great role model! This “guy” is clearly intimidated."

Another fan praised Storm's presenting and wrote: "I think you should even have your own programme.. love seeing you always in mornings... a breath of fresh air... and always good opinions to give."
Storm previously admitted that she was "anxious" ahead of her first show, but it was a success.
She tweeted: "First Show of 2022! Not going to lie… I was a bit anxious about wearing “proper” clothes and remembering how to do my makeup but we got there! 2022 off to a winner."
