ITV GMB's Andi Peters struggles to host as he fights tears live on air

Andi Peters struggled to host his segment on Good Morning Britain after becoming overwhelmed live on-air. The programme cut from Ed Balls and Susanna Reid to Andi, who was presenting a competition piece on the ITV show.

She announced: "And some breaking international news, at least 53 people have died and dozens others have
