Good Morning Britain hosts stunned as guest shows how phone's safety feature saved his life

Kate Garraway and Adil Ray were left stunned during the latest edition of Good Morning Britain as a guest revealed how his phone's safety feature saved his life. The pair were at the helm of the ITV news programme on Thursday (April 7) and were joined by snowboarder Tim Blakey.

Their guest, who was live in the studio, was on the show to share his incredible story of survival after the ground under him gave way and fell 15ft into a crevasse while he was snowboarding off-piste in Switzerland.

Fortunately, Tim managed to land on a fragile shelf of ice to break his fall but if it wasn't for that, he could have fallen off deeper. Despite being in a better position than he could have been, Tim had just three percent battery left on his phone.
