BBC News presenter thanks viewers for support after breaking down over deaths of boys in Solihull lake tragedy

The deaths of three young children who fell through ice on a frozen lake in Solihull has shaken the nation and BBC News presenter Joanna Gosling was overcome with emotion while breaking the news. She has now taken to Twitter to thank viewers for their kind messages and support.

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."
