Susanna Reid reacted with horror at a Good Morning Britain guest's harrowing recollection of how she feared her son's life was in danger, after he feel into a sewage drain.
The ITV show's main host was back behind the desk alongside Richard Madeley, a day after both of them had reacted angrily to the damning photo of Boris Johnson at a Downing Street party, with Susanna reading out a letter from a care home worker viewers left furious by the picture. The presenting duo were joined live in the studio by mum Amy and toddler Theo, with Amy explaining that a walk to Theo's dad house went horribly wrong when the little boy fell down a manhole.
Recalling the horrifying incident, Amy explained: "We were walking from my mum's house to the car. I was walking along the path and Theo was holding my hand at the start. After he let go of my hand he ran towards the drain. My gut instinct told me 'I need to run, I need to run.'"
