Cat Deeley breaks down in tears on This Morning and is comforted by Ben Shephard


It was an emotional start to Tuesday's This Morning, as host Cat Deeley struggled to contain her emotions after watching a clip of Rob Burrows, who passed away on Sunday

This Morning's Cat Deeley broke down in tears on Tuesday's instalment of the show, after a clip of the late rugby star, Rob Burrow, was shown. Rob, who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2019, had recorded a deeply moving final message for his supporters before he passed away on Sunday 2 June, encouraging them to "be brave", "live in the moment" and to continue "to dare to dream". In his final days, Rob, with characteristic humility, described himself as "just a lad from Yorkshire who got to live out his dream", but to many, he was an inspirational figure far beyond the rugby pitch due to his relentless work for MND charities.
