Cat Deeley fights back tears on This Morning during inspiring interview with William, eight, about his battle with sepsis


Cat Deeley had an emotional interview with a young family affected by sepsis on Thursday's This Morning.

The ITV star fought back tears as she and Ben Shephard spoke to eight-year-old William who had both his legs amputated after battling sepsis in 2020 at the age of three. As Cat, who is a mum of two boys, spoke to William's mother Gemma about the terrifying moment doctor's told the family about the diagnosis, the presenter fought to compose herself. After being transferred to Nottingham Children's Hospital for specialist care William suffered a cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated, with his family told he was not expected to survive.
