Lorraine Kelly emotional as desperate Ukrainian mum writes details on toddler's back

Lorraine Kelly was left emotional on Wednesday as she interviewed a Ukrainian mother who went viral after writing her contact details on her two-year-old daughter's back while fleeing the war-torn country.

The 62-year-old spoke with Sasha Makoviy on her ITV morning programme about her desperate decision to write daughter Vira's name, age and phone numbers on her in case the family were separated or killed while fleeing Kyiv.

The family are now in France and after arriving, Sasha posted a photo of the writing on Vira's back to Instagram, where the image went viral.
