Good Morning Britain star fights back tears as they issue apology
Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins was left fighting back tears on the ITV show during Tuesday's instalment.
Tuesday's (July 15) episode of Good Morning Britain was particularly poignant as hosts Charlotte Hawkins and Richard Madeley interviewed Tristan, a man who recently lost his wife to breast cancer.
Dr Susan Michaelis, died last week after a 14-year battle with lobular breast cancer. Over the past few years, she had been a staunch advocate for research into the disease.
Charlotte Hawkins appeared deeply moved during the conversation with Tristan, her voice wavering with emotion as the segment concluded.
Tristan expressed his gratitude on air, saying: "Thank you to all the women who have this disease, for giving it some airtime."
To which Richard Madeley responded: "Oh, it's you that deserves the thanks."

Charlotte, struggling to maintain composure, said: "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-".
Her voice began to break as she fought back tears, continuing: "I know she would be so proud of you continuing this fight.
"Sorry, it's one of things that have effected a lot of people this morning."
Tristan appeared on Good Morning Britain to raise awareness of the cancer
Tristan discussed the Lobular Moon Shot Project, a campaign initiated by his late wife in 2023 with the goal of raising £20m for research into invasive lobular breast cancer, emphasising its political support and his commitment to securing funding for researchers, reports the Mirror.
Tragically, she died last Wednesday, with an announcement stating she was in the company of her husband and dear friends, proudly wearing her cherished Lobular Moon Shot Project tee.

This week, her husband Tristan took part in discussions with Health Secretary Wes Streeting—a meeting Susan had aspired to be at herself before her death.
On the matter of the illness, Tristan conveyed to Richard and Charlotte: "Every day 22 more people are being diagnosed with this disease.

ITV Love Island fans 'disgusted' as sex scenes air between islanders
Viewers were left "disgusted" by one couple's antics after they narrowly avoided being dumped from the villa. Love Island viewers were left stunned as the show broadcast a racy bedroom scene between Harrison and his partner Lauren. The duo had a narrow escape from being booted off Love Island after Shakira and Ty decided to send Tommy and Lucy packing, sparing Harrison and Lauren along with Conor and Emma. It appeared that Harrison and Lauren chose to mark their stay in the villa with an intimate celebration in the bedroom, prompting 'disgust' among fans when Harrison was heard asking Harry for a condom. As night fell on the villa, the night cam captured Harrison reaching out to Harry and Helena's bed, enquiring: "Do you have a condom?" Harry and Helena burst into laughter, with Helena quickly retrieving one from a drawer and Harry handing it over. The couple then disappeared under the covers, engaging in a kiss as the cameras shifted focus to them. But the audience was far from amused, particularly since Harrison had mentioned he was still in contact with his ex, Toni, reports the Mirror. On X, previously known as Twitter, one viewer expressed their disbelief: "Did Harry just pass a condom to Lauren and Harrison? ? ? ! I didn't know I was watching too hot to handle". Another equally astonished fan commented: "I have never. In all my years seen someone ask for a condom on # loveisland. Like yayyyyy for sexual safety but that is tooooooooooo raz. "Do you have a condom? Is going to haunt me until the day that I die #LoveIsland," a third viewer remarked. Another added: "'Do you have a condom?' That is disgusting work. What is wrong with that man." In tonight's captivating episode of Love Island, the villa was abuzz with no opportunity for a breather. The Islanders faced a dramatic recoupling hot on the heels of a double bombshell dumping. The episode kicked off with an emotional farewell to Tommy and Lucy, who were sent packing after being deemed the least compatible by fellow Islanders Shakira and Ty. This follows last night's shock exit of Ben and Andrada, who received a sudden text decreeing their departure as the least compatible couple - a decision made shortly after they coupled up during Casa Amor's events. Ben had since been seen grappling with doubts over Andrada's sincerity after she developed a bond with Dejon while in the secondary villa. But in a twist, Toni disclosed to Lauren that she had "washed her hands" of Harrison, suggesting she'd surrendered any romantic claim over him. Later scenes showed Harrison taking Toni to the terrace to express his strong feelings for her, which she eventually gave into, choosing her former flame over Cach - the Islander she took back into the villa from Casa Amor.

Slump in Gino D'Acampo's wealth since being axed by ITV revealed as shamed chef plots new life abroad
GINO D'Acampo's earnings have dropped by over £150,000 after he was axed by ITV. The channel cut ties with him in February after allegations of inappropriate behaviour. 4 New documents filed at Companies House show net assets of £195,999 for the financial year ending in April, compared to £352,534 in 2024. The shamed chef faced a considerable loss in earnings, with cash intake of £199k - down from £704k the year before. It comes after The Sun told how the former This Morning telly cook is relaunching his brand in Australia amid his UK woes. The Italian, 48, is launching 'multiple work projects', including two new restaurants and a culinary tech platform, 11,000 miles from his Hertfordshire mansion, which is now on the market for £4.2million. Last week Gino's representative said: 'He loves Australia a lot - the people, culture, cleanliness and environment.' While Gino will keep a base in the UK, he will be spending increasing amounts of time Down Under over the next two years as he also sets up a new cookware range for the international market. A source added: 'Gino has had a fantastic career over here - and still has an incredibly loyal fanbase. 'But it's been made clear to him that TV opportunities over here are few and far between in the wake of recent allegations, and that's frustrating. 'While Gino has always denied any wrongdoing, he's a pragmatist and knows it's time for new adventures. 'He's been inundated with offers Down Under following a really successful tour there. Gino D'Acampo slammed for 'highly inappropriate' cooking video as fans say 'that's disturbing and upsetting' 'He spent some time in Australia a few years ago, and loved it. He still has a large social media following and plans to capitalise on that in the next stage of his career.' The source said the star will be launching two new restaurants in Australia and will split his time between there and the UK for the next two years. His wife of 22 years, Jessica, and their three children will remain in Britain. The source added: 'But if all goes well, Australia is a full-time option.' 4 4

ITV's Unforgotten 'future in doubt' as creator 'steps down' amid series backlash
ITV drama Unforgotten could be 'facing the axe' after its next season as show writer Chris Lang speaks about his plans to 'quit' after responding to backlash last series ITV cold case series Unforgotten has been entertaining fans for over a decade - but it looks like the show is about to make a huge change. It comes two years after lead Nicola Walker who played DCI Cassie Stuart, was replaced by Sinéad Keenan, who plays DCI Jessica James. The change came after Nicola's character died after a car accident in the show in series four, with Keenan taking the lead from series five and beyond. The latest series, series 6, aired earlier this year, although some fans had criticised the show over the political theme as crime-solving duo DCI Jess James and DI Sunil Khan uncovered many hidden secrets. Viewers had complained that the "political commentary" felt too much on occasions in series six. One person stated on X: "I was a fan of each previous series. 2 episodes in and I'm finding the political commentary way too much, I think it detracts from the story and makes the whole thing less credible." Others went into describe the show as "too woke" with one writing: 'Sorry guys but you have ruined #Unforgotten as it's now complete woke nonsense!' Now, Chris has revealed he's planning to 'step down' as a writer after next year's new series. 'I'll probably hand on the baton after this series. I'll still be involved, but I've written 42 episodes and don't want to repeat myself, " Chris said in an interview with the Royal Television Society. 'I wouldn't write it if I didn't have something to say about the state of the nation," he continued. 'Because Unforgotten has an inherent and robust structure, that allows me space to hold up a mirror to British society — it's a Trojan horse show.' Responding to fan criticism earlier this year, Chris responded to one fan: "Sorry to hear that, I like to hold up a mirror to the UK, and reflect where we are." Despite the criticism, the drama which also features Sanjeev Bhaskar as DI Sunil Khan, received impressive viewing figures during the latest series in February. The first episode drew in a huge 7.4million viewers. The feedback wasn't all bad however - with many fans taking to social media to defend their favourite drama. One said: 'Just watched #Unforgotten #6. Yet again, THE best thing on television. Another agreed: "Yet again, huge credit to @ChrisLangWriter for phenomenal writing. "Yet again, huge credit to @SineadKeenan & @TVSanjeev for their excellent & totally credible performances, as to the entire cast and production." (sic)
