Emotions were at an all-time high during Tuesday's instalment of This Morning.
During the ITV show, viewers saw Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary speak to one dad whose son has suffered severe burns.
At the time, nine-year-old William Tyler ran across boiling hot sand, which had still been scorching from a disposable barbecue.
As a result, William needed multiple surgeries on his burns. During the show, his father, Toby, was overcome with emotion as he recalled hearing his son in pain.

ITV comedy episode slapped with trigger warning 45 years after original release
An episode of the longrunning ITV comedy-drama Minder has been labelled with a content warning on the ITVX platform over the outdated stereotypes used. Minder ran from 1979 to 1994 and was a cultural staple of the Thatcher years, focusing on the London criminal underworld, with dodgy entrepreneur Arthur Daley and his 'minder' sidekick Terry taking centre stage. The show starred the late Dennis Waterman, George Cole and Glynn Edwards. Gary Webster replaced Waterman in the final two series of the show – which was also revived in 2009 with Shane Richie starring as Arthur Daley's nephew Archie. Certain episodes on the ITVX streamer, which has all 10 series of the show free to watch, now have a parental guidance warning attached. One example is the 1980 episode Whose Wife Is It Anyway?, which has been labelled as containing 'offensive language, outmoded sexual stereotypes and some violence'. The episode synopsis reads: 'Terry turns his hand to selling antiques when Arthur's friend Alex is hospitalised following a hit-and-run. Was it definitely an accident?' This series two episode, which aired in 1980, saw Arthur instruct his muscle Terry to protect a gay couple who run an antique shop. The episode contains a number of slurs referring to gay men. The show's first ever episode, Gunfight at the OK Launderette, also contains a warning for 'violence, moderate language and nudity'. George Cole's Daley has been hailed as a British TV icon, with catchphrases (''er indoors', 'the world is your lobster', 'nice little earner') that went on to become common parlance. Cole, who died aged 90 in 2015 after a short illness, also became an unlikely pop star as a result of the show, hitting the charts in 1983 with the novelty Christmas hit What Are We Gonna Get For 'Er Indoors – a reference to Daley's onscreen wife who never actually appeared in Minder. Waterman died aged 74 in 2022, after a career spanning 60 years. He had varied roles in comedy, drama, and horror, after finding fame as a teenager in BBC drama William. More Trending He became well known for his role as tough-nut cop Detective Sergeant George Carter opposite John Thaw in ITV's police drama The Sweeney. He went on to star as bodyguard Terry McCann in Minder and landed a long-running role as Gerry Standing in New Tricks from 2003 to 2015. The star was also known for singing the iconic theme tune for New Tricks and Minder. View More » Metro contacted ITV for comment. Got a story?

Emmerdale fans distracted by glaring baby bump blunder as actress fails to hide her real-life pregnancy
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EMMERDALE fans were left seriously distracted by actress Georgia Jay as she flaunted her baby bump on screen. The star, who plays Steph Milligan, in the ITV soap opera is currently expecting her first child in real life and has been doing all she can to hide her bump from view on-screen. 3 Steph Milligan actress Georgia Jay had a blunder as she showed off her baby bump on Emmerdale Credit: ITV 3 She had attempted to hide it with her bag Credit: ITV However, viewers of the show were left distracted when Georgia's bump could be seen in full view by all to see. During a scene in the cafe, Steph could be seen wearing an over-shirt as well as carrying a huge bag which she conveniently placed over her stomach. However, as she stood up to leave her table, she failed to keep the bag above her stomach which left her huge bump on full display. It caused fans to quickly react as some were left confused if Steph was also supposed to be pregnant in the show. Whilst Steph is not currently believed to be pregnant, others wondered if it was due to be included in an upcoming storyline. Writing on X, one viewer said: "I am so confused right now. Actress playing Steph is pregnant IRL, but I'm not sure if her character is supposed to be pregnant as well." Another added: "Not doing a very good job of hiding Steph's bump there are they? Unless they're going to include it in a storyline.." A third then penned: "They are clearly making no attempt to hide the fact that Steph is about to make her exit for Mat leave very soon!" Before a fourth commented: "Steph is hiding her pregnancy well. Well sort of, with bags and laptops." Steph joined the show late last year and has seen her storylines reveal that her biological father is the man that she believed was her grandfather, Anthony Fox. Emmerdale star Joe Absolom teases dark storyline for drug dealer villain Anthony fathered Steph after he raped his own daughter Ruby whilst she was a teenager in a horrifying pattern of sexual abuse. Georgia is due to exit Emmerdale later this year owing to her pregnancy. A source said: 'Everyone's thrilled for Georgia and can't wait to see her back when she's ready. 'Steph's exit will happen in the next few weeks and see her flee abroad in typically dramatic fashion. 'But with Anthony's body still out there, there's a huge storyline still to be wrapped up for when she returns.' Actress Georgia announced her pregnancy last month after fans began to notice her growing bump on screen.

The new Hell's Kitchen? ITV announces 'absolutely unmissable' new cooking competition hosted by Olivia Attwood - with a scintillating twist
ITV has just announced an 'absolutely unmissable' new cooking competition hosted by Love Island star Olivia Attwood - and it has a surprising twist. Tense new series The Heat will take place under the sizzling Spanish sun - tracking ten young chefs as they work under multi Michelin Star chef Jean-Christophe Novelli. The world-rated culinary master is opening a summer restaurant at the glamorous Port Vell Marina, and is on a mission to find the rising star among the keen professionals. But villa bombshell Olivia will not be straying too far from her roots as the camera closely follows the chefs both in the kitchen and behind the scenes - offering a glimpse into their personal lives. In a new reality format, viewers with a taste for the salacious will watch along as the staff develop close blonds, with dating, socialising and drama on the cards. The cooking show will blend the contestants' personal and professional lives, as the young hopefuls quickly realise the precariousness of their position in the fierce culinary contest. They will consistently battle in a bid to climb the kitchen ranks - and promotions, demotions, power plays, sackings and shock decisions throughout the series will keep them on their toes. 'It is such an honour to host this brand-new format for ITV2 and ITVX,' host Olivia said. 'Being at the helm of something this fresh and exciting is a total pinch-me moment.' And chef Jean-Christophe, known for his drive and intensity in the kitchen, said he was equally 'thrilled' to join the exciting new series. 'I'll be using my passion and unique teaching style to push these young chefs to dig deep, stay sharp and prove they have what it takes to grow, evolve, and make their mark,' he said. His years of experience will prove life-changing for the show's contestants, and Jean-Christophe will mentor the next generation of culinary talent. 'I'll mentor them to use all five senses together and put it all on the plate, the right way,' he continued. 'It's going to be a wild ride, and I know we'll discover some true culinary stars along the way. I'm ready. Let's do this. Allez, Allez - bon appétit!' Filming is already underway in Barcelona, and ITV's Paul Mortimer said, 'The Heat is the perfect fusion of a high-stakes cooking show with real-life drama. 'And with the fantastic Olivia at the forefront alongside the renowned Jean-Christophe, it's shaping up to be a new reality obsession for our younger viewers.' It's not the first of exciting developments for Olivia, who came onto our screens in 2017 as a Love Island contestant. Since then, she has soared in the media world, and recently began her role as a This Morning host. The 34-year-old kicked off her hosting debut with a brutal comment to her co-star Dermot O'Leary on Friday -which left the studio in stitches. Olivia couldn't help but make a cheeky comment about Dermot's height seconds after she went on air for the first time. Dermot began by telling viewers: 'Well hello. Welcome to your Friday's This Morning. Look who has joined us today. It's only the lovely Olivia Attwood everyone!' With 5'11" Olivia towering over 5'9" Dermot, she replied: 'Thanks guys! This is not a drill. This is happening!' before cheekily adding 'I want you to know, I did go for a smaller heel.' Dermot then added: 'You could have worn a flat! That's all I'm saying... Early feedback,' to which Olivia replied: 'I couldn't actually!' The former X Factor presenter then went on his tip toes to get to the same height as his co-host.
