Good Morning Britain‘s Charlotte Hawkins broke down in tears in the middle of an interview.

Tuesday’s instalment of the daily ITV show saw co-hosts Charlotte, 50, and Richard Madeley, 69, cover the top stories of the day.

During the programme, the pair interviewed Tristan, whose wife, Dr Susan Michaelis, sadly passed away from breast cancer.

Susan had passionately campaigned and pushed for research into lobular breast cancer and Tristan appeared on the show to share her story and raise further awareness.

‘You must miss her very much,’ Richard commented towards the end of the conversation.

‘I do, she was amazing,’ he replied.

Tristan added: ‘Thank you for all the women who have this disease, for giving it some airtime.’

‘Oh, it’s you that deserves the thanks,’ Richard said.

Charlotte emotionally added: ‘Thank you for coming in when this has only just happened, and you know, I know that obviously, you were supremely proud of her and everything she was doing but I know she would be so proud of you continuing this fight.’

The presenter then appeared to become tearful before adding, ‘Sorry, it’s one of those things that have affected a lot of people this morning.’

Lobular breast cancer is the second most common form of the disease. The tumours begin in the milk-producing glands and grow in a ‘spider’s web’ pattern.

This makes it harder to spot and more likely to be diagnosed later than the main form of breast cancer. Symptoms can include an inverted nipple, breast tissue thickening, a tugging sensation or a dent in the breast.

It comes after Natasha Hamilton opened up about her secret skin cancer battle in an emotional Good Morning Britain interview last month.

The former Atomic Kitten singer, 42, gave fans a health update as she spoke about her diagnosis of Basal-cell carcinoma -which she received last year – with hosts Kate Garraway, 58, and Robert Rinder, 47.

The presenter then appeared to become tearful before adding, 'Sorry, it's one of things that have effected a lot of people this morning.'

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a type of non-melanoma skin cancer. Non-melanoma means it does not involve skin pigment cells.

Kate pointed out: ‘I was saying thankfully because we want to establish that you are now fine. You’re cancer free and all is good, but you’re a living health warning in a way.’

Natasha said: ‘I am. Now I have to be really vigilant, I have to check my skin all the time.

‘Since then I’ve had a few things appear where I’ve had to go back to the dermatologist, they’re on the ‘watch list’.

‘This is probably something I am going to have to keep an eye for the rest of my life.’

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
