This Morning's Phillip Schofield 'breaks down' over message sent to Kelly Holmes after she came out

Phillip Schofield was left on the verge of tears on-air as he spoke to Dame Kelly Holmes about her coming out as gay.

Double Olympic champion spoke about her sexuality during Pride Month, revealing that she had also made it the subject of a forthcoming BBC documentary Being Me. A clip of the programme then appeared on screen, before the camera cut back to Kelly, who joined Phillip and co-hoist Holly Willoughby.

Becoming increasingly emotional, Kelly told the ITV presenters: "I was at home and on social media and the reaction was amazing but I still felt it wasn't the real world and coming out today and sitting here now, it feels like the real world and it's really hard," she added. "I've been having interviews for years but this is such a huge step for me to be open and honest."
