The co-presenter of This Morning, Holly Willoughby, broke down sobbing on the 8 March show as she talked about children suffering in Ukraine. Her co-host was forced to cut to a break as Holly wiped away the tears running down her face.
Holly Willoughby was on the verge of tears when she was in a debate about refugees fleeing Putin's invasion of Ukraine. She was joined by ex coronation street star Nicola Thorp in the debate and claimed how the government lacked in allowing people to reach the UK safely. She was supported by viewers, and they expressed how Nicola was right with her every word. One user also tweeted about wanting to give a hug to Holly after her emotional breakdown over children refugees.
The conversation turned to children crossing the border between Ukraine and Poland alone, relying on authorities without their parents. This conversation led to some silent tears from Nicola, too, and Holly was seen with her head down sobbing. After the break, Holly explained that the sadness overwhelmed her and said that it was very hard not to feel anxious with all the wars happening right now shown in the papers and TV.
