HOLLY Willoughby was left in tears by a heartbreaking video of children being reunited with their grandparents for the first time in months.

Phillip Schofield said: “We got a bit a teary” after the montage, with moist-eyed Holly replying: “It’s what we want so much. We’ve been waiting for so long.”

He explained that they had even watched the film in the ad break to prepare themselves.

He said: “Following new government guidelines, single adults living alone or single parents can now form a support bubble with another household.”

Holly added: “So many of you have been in touch over the weekend sharing your videos. Get your tissues is all I can say.”

“We just watched this in the break and it set us off. Here we are.”

A series of videos showing This Morning viewers who had filmed their children reuniting with their parents or grandparents was then shown, with youngster running towards their relatives and hugging them while music played.

And many viewers at home were feeling just as emotional, with one writing: “Crying watching @thismorning Families Reunited.”

Another tweeted: “Seeing all of the family reunions after spending months apart has made me so emotional. I can’t imagine what it must have been like for Grandchildren to not be able to see their Grandparents for months! x.”
