The ITV host was left struggling to regain his composure after he was “moved” by an emotional segment on the show…
Andi Peters, the usually cheerful competitions supremo on Good Morning Britain, was visibly moved during today’s live segment of the popular ITV show. This came after an emotional interview with a mother who tragically lost her son due to the absence of a defibrillator. Transitioning from the heart-wrenching interview to presenting a competition on the ITV morning show, Andi, broadcasting from Edinburgh, struggled to hold back his tears.
He admitted: “Slightly moved, I can’t lie.” Despite his emotional state, he continued to tell viewers about the cash prize up for grabs, his voice wavering and eyes filled with emotion. “We’ve got an amazing price, we’re in Edinburgh. It’s £105,300. That’s the money we’re going to give away. It’s a huge amount of money, it could change your life,” he told the audience.
Andi, 54, added: “Take a look at Edinburgh, the sun is rising up this morning. Here, in this wonderful city. This competition is all about the phone, because if you win, I could be calling you live on the television, to let you know you’ve won the prize.”
The poignant moment occurred after GMB had earlier been interrupted by breaking news, with a live update from Downing Street being halted so that Ranvir Singh could deliver urgent information to the viewers. .
A TV presenter delivered news of a significant earthquake that occurred around 23km from Shigatse, Tibet at approximately 9am local time (1am GMT), impacting several countries including Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Bhutan, and China, with a substantial magnitude of 7.1. She stated: “And some breaking international news, at least 53 people have died and dozens others have been injured in a strong earthquake in Tibet,” reports the Mirror.
The presenter described the severity of the quake, noting it registered around seven on the Richter scale, with its epicentre close to the esteemed “holy city” of Shigatse.
Additional information included reports of tremors felt across Nepal and parts of India. As the details were shared, images illustrating the earthquake’s impact and resulting effects aired, visibly displaying intense shaking.
State media has also reported numerous aftershocks, with magnitudes reaching up to 4.4 following the initial earthquake.
