Good Morning Britain viewers were left disgusted by a story involving a 100-year-old war veteran when they tuned into the latest show. The ITV news programme was back on air on Wednesday morning (July 20) with Ranvir Singh and Ed Balls back at the helm.
During the show, the hosts were joined live in the studio by Jan Strangryciuk who reached his centenary milestone earlier this year. But rather than talking about his inspirational life, Jan was on the programme after he was struck by callous thieves and robbed of his war medals, sentimental jewellery and thousands of pounds in cash.
Poland-born Jan and his wife were targeted at their London home by three men who claimed to be from a water company. But this was all a ploy and they ransacked the elderly couple's home. "It was a horrific shock," Jan told Ranvir and Ed. "I thought the people who committed crime probably have more respect for my old age," he also said.
