Joanna was reporting the tragic news just after the update was confirmed by police, when she became emotional and apologised on air. Posting on Twitter Joanna said she appreciates "the care that has come my way." and that her thoughts are with the families of the children.
She said: "I can’t respond to all your kind messages after the heartbreaking news of yesterday, but I want to, so this is to say I hugely appreciate the care that has come my way. Thank you. It was shocking news and thoughts are with those who are suffering this terrible loss."
