Katherine was wrapped up for the cold in a black jacket, neon gloves and a bobble hat with cream, beige and tan stripes.

After discussing the GB men’s upcoming tetanus semi-final, co-anchor Naga Munchetty talked to Katherine about her hats.

She said: “Amazing bobble hat! How many have you got, all left [presenters] wear a cap? “

Katherine replied, “Well, I went to PyeongChang four years ago with two caps, and it was a mistake. Because it turns out you’re on TV every day and you want a little variety!

“So I brought seven bobble hats with me when I went to Beijing. And you know what – I love them!”

However, she added: “But my sound man here, Graham, he is very rude about my bobble hat.

“He said it made me look like my head was the shape of a mushroom. But I love them, it’s freezing out here!”

Naga co-host John Kay reassured Katherine, telling her, “Actually, I’m a fan of that show!

“And unlike [the others] Wouldn’t you combine bobble hats and scarves? It’s fun – just love it with the bobble hat. “

But Naga joked: “Raise your game, Miss Downes – raise your game!”
