ITV's Nadia Nadim exits World Cup studio after finding out her mum had been killed

World Cup commentator Nadia Nadim was left devastated while working for one of Tuesday's games, when she found out her mum had been killed.

Danish pundit and women's player Nadia joined the ITV team for coverage of Denmark v Tunisia on Tuesday lunchtime, with a lot of talk in the build up to the match being about Christian Eriksen being in the Denmark team, not even 18 months on from being feared dead as he collapsed on the pitch during his side's Euros tie with Finland.

Thankfully, after his teammates and fans in the stand were left fearing the worst, Eriksen has made a full recovery and now plays in the Premier League for Manchester United. His recovery and the spirit of his teammates were talked about by Nadia in the build up to the Tunisia group game in the Qatar World Cup, with her also praising England for their 6-2 win against Iran a day earlier.
