Holly Willoughby 'can't bear it' as she struggles through ITV This Morning viewer's emotional call

Holly Willoughby couldn't hide her sympathy for one of the callers who phoned This Morning for advice today. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV daytime show on Tuesday (September 27) alongside Phillip Schofield.

They were joined by the show's resident agony aunt Deidre Sanders but instead of her appearing just for her usual phone-in, she sat on the famous sofa to chat to the hosts about her own diagnosis after discovering she has cancer. The 77-year-old revealed her health diagnosis in her column for The Sun.

She explained how she sought advice from her GP over the summer after she started 'feeling achy' and after realising that the tension she often feels in her shoulders had spread to her right breast. Two weeks before going on holiday, she spoke to a doctor about her concerns, before seeing an advanced nurse practitioner in person.
