Graeme Souness was supported as he fought back tears on today's This Morning.
The former Liverpool FC captain appeared on the show to raise awareness about a rare skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa. The 70-year-old is training to swim the Channel to raise money for the charity, DEBRA, which supports people with the disorder.
The former Sky Sports pundit was motivated to get involved after he met Isla Grist, a 14-year-old who lives with the disorder. Souness was emotional as he spoke about how much of an impact the "cruel and severe" condition has on people who suffer it.
