This Morning caller breaks down in tears live on air – as Mollie King desperately tries to comfort her
A THIS Morning caller broke down in tears live on air today as they revealed they would be spending Christmas Day alone.
Distraught Debbie told shocked hosts Mollie King and Andi Peters that her two sons had other plans and she hadn’t been invited.
Mollie was quick to try and comfort her, saying: “I am so sorry.”
Debbie explained her situation: “I am feeling really lonely and anxious this Christmas.
“I have got two sons and a family but the are all spending it with the in-laws and I am on my own. I just feel this real sadness, there is all this happiness going on but I just don’t feel it.
“They are grown up but they want to spend it with the in-laws and this is the third year running now. It’s what I have to get used to every year.”
She added: “I am allowed to go for breakfast for an hour in the morning and that is it. That is all that I am allowed.”
Those watching at home were very upset for the woman and took to X to discuss her situation.
One person wrote: “Her sons are beyond selfish. Unbelievable.”
A second said: “WTF? Two sons and not one of them has thought, ‘Hang on, Mum will be on her own at Christmas.’? “
While a third added: “Debbie if you were my mum you would not be alone.”
Others praised Mollie for being so kind, with a viewer commenting: “I think Molly is really good. She’s bright and seems really empathetic. Good choice.”
Mollie is hosting the show for a second day in the row – she hosted with Dermot yesterday.
