GMB's Martin Lewis breaks down on air as he discusses losing his mother at same age as Harry

In a heart-breaking moment, ITV Good Morning Britain's Martin Lewis's emotions got the better of him as he shared a personal detail about his life during the show. Taking a moment to compose himself, he temporarily left his co-host alone after becoming overwhelmed.

Joining Susanna Reid to present coverage of Queen Elizabeth II's death on Wednesday, September 15, the Money Saving Expert had been speaking about Prince William and Harry walking behind Princess Diana’s coffin at her funeral. He said: “I wasn't going to say this on air but it resonates with me very powerfully for someone who lost his mother at the same age as Harry in a road accident.

"I find it very difficult to watch. Thank goodness I wasn't forced to walk behind. I didn't even go. It does bring back some..." Martin broke off before Susanna stepped in as he held back tears. “You carry on,” he said. “We’ll move on.”
