GMB's Susanna Reid and Ed Balls 'amazed' as Sean Fletcher shares Welsh language promise

Good Morning Britain presenter Sean Fletcher has shared the wonderful way in which he came to be a Welsh speaker. The newsreader explained it was all due to a promise he made his father-in-law on his wedding day.

The Countryfile host shared the lovely story with his GMB co-stars Susanna Reid and Ed Balls during the show that aired on Monday, November 28. As the programme came back from a break, Ed said to Susanna: "I was chatting to Sean just now, it's an amazing story."

"It is an amazing story," Susanna replied, before addressing Sean and adding: "Sean, for the people who weren't watching that particular moment behind the scenes, you were just discussing your ability to speak Welsh fluently and it was a pledge you made on your wedding day wasn't it, because your wife is, of course, Welsh."
