Susanna Reid was praised for her emotional interview with Amelia Anisovych, the seven-year-old who went viral for singing Let It Go in a bunker.
Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid was absent from the studio today as she presented from Madyka, the Polish border with Ukraine. She spoke with refugees fleeing the country who were willing to speak about the atrocities being committed in their homeland.
One of the interviewees included seven-year-old Amelia, a Ukrainian girl who was forced to hide in a bunker for six days with little food or water. A video emerged of Amelia singing Frozen's Let It Go which soon went viral as the world watched her calm the fears of everyone in the bomb shelter.

Susanna met with the singer, calling her a star and noting how many fans she has around the world. Accompanying her was her mother who spoke about the viral video.
Her mother said: "I can't remember the exact moment when Amelia sang the song, it was perhaps the sixth day. Let me describe a little bit about it.
"When you are there, you don't feel comfortable at all. On the day we shot the video we were all exhausted. We heard sirens all the time and we knew it was serious and even today, people in Kyiv don't feel safe and they sleep in corridors, not in bedrooms.
Susanna added: "There's obviously a very strong bond between the two of you but there was a point, mum, where you had to see her go. The decision to send Amelia and her brother away must have been a very difficult one for you to make."
Amelia's mother said it was a challenge to let her children go but her country needed her. She said: "But I knew she was around her granny and older brother."
Questions turned to Amelia, asking how she found the journey with her grandmother and brother. Amelia noted she had sandwiches and made friends so she was okay. As Susanna asked when she expects to return home, Amelia said: When we have victory."
Her mother replied: "I must admit we don't discuss this question at home, so what Amelia said was her own view. I try to be as optimistic as possible and hope the war will be finished very soon. Unfortunately, I admit it might take a little longer."
Viewers were left speechless as they commended both Susanna and Amelia. One viewer said: "This is heartbreaking to watch #GMB". Another added: "amazing job from Amelia such a fighter #GMB."
