Charlotte Hawkins was left saddened, after having to stop Wednesday's Good Morning Britain to bring some breaking news to viewers at home.
The presenter once again joined forces with Richard Madeley to front the latest edition of the ITV breakfast show and, after holding Education Secretary James Cleverly to account for the lack of Government help for people struggling with rising energy costs, ex Strictly contestant Charlotte brought proceedings to a halt to announce the sad news that author Raymond Briggs, the man most famous for creating The Snowman, had died at the age of 88.
As Charlotte got ready to deliver the news of Raymond's passing, Richard remarked: "We've had some sad news just come in," before Charlotte explained: "We have, it's about the author and illustrator Raymond Briggs, who sadly died at the age of 88, his publisher, Penguin Random House, has just announced a short time ago."
