Gogglebox's Sophie Sandiford had viewers across the country sobbing with her as she broke down while watching footage of the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The Channel 4 show showed tragic imagery of bombings from BBC News, which deeply affected the Blackpool star, with her brother Pete commenting on how awful it must be for families to be separated, Birmingham Live reports.
Women and children are currently fleeing the country for safety, while men stay behind to fight against the incoming Russian forces who just last week launched an invasion on their neighbouring country.

Sophie then made a heartbreaking promise to her brother that she would stay behind with him if there was a war.
Pete said: "I don’t know how I’d feel if I got held back, to fight the war. Because what do you do? You can’t go, 'No, I’m going,' but by the same token, do I really want to be getting shot at and potentially killed?
"What’s more valuable to me?"
And Sophie burst in tears as she responded: "I’m choking up even thinking about that, because I would just stay with you."
Pete insisted that he wouldn’t let Sophie stay behind in his attempts to console her.
"No you wouldn’t, f***ing wouldn’t let you, you little soft a**e," he told her, adding: "Stop it you k******d, you’re going to make me cry."
Sophie added: "I know but it's just scary."
Fans of the show were immediately touched by the duo's close relationship, taking to to social media to comment.
Nicbons wrote on Twitter: "Awww Soph and Pete have got me sobbing," while Emma, said: "Aww sophie".
Mikepriestley added: "Aww sophie getting upset over the fighting in Ukraine and talking about the men staying behind. They may squabble but can see Sophie and Pete love each other. Great brother and sister relationship."
