KATE Garraway fought back tears and dabbed her eyes during an hugely emotional Good Morning Britain segment with her equally upset co-host.
The ITV anchor, 57, was joined by Rob Rinder, 46, to front Thursday's live show.
Also on the Good Morning Britain sofa were parents Tara and Martin Cosser, who tragically lost their son Charlie, aged 17, back in 2023 .
The teen was stabbed to death at a party in a farmhouse, with the brave mum and dad now campaigning for tougher laws against knife crime.
Rob, a criminal barrister himself, was choked up before the interview began.
Referring to his empathy, Kate said: "You did warn us you were going to get emotional."
Yet at the end of the segment - which showed sheer bravery from the grieving parents - mum of two Kate was also left brushing her eyes.
She let out a huge sigh as Rob asked: "Do you still feel he's [Charlie's] there?
"I mean is there still a connection, do you still want to go to your phone?"
Tara bravely replied: "Absolutely yeah."
Rob could be heard muttering: "Oh god," as she continued: "I still send him a message every morning and I tell him I love him and I know Martin ..." before her husband interjected.
Martin continued: "I still open his door to see - I know he's not there, but honestly it's so hard.
"I don't think even now knowing ... the way our life is now, sitting on daytime TV, it's all so crazy."
Kate, who is currently experiencing grief following the passing of her husband Derek Draper, aged 56, empathised and said: "Mmm it doesn't feel real," before wiping her face.
Rob said their grief was "deep and would connect with so many people."

He then asked the Surrey-based couple to hammer home their message to youngsters who carry knifes.
Martin put on a strong face as he said: "My message is it doesn't matter what your background is, it doesn't matter where you live, working class, affluent area.
"Everybody has a choice.
"When you make the choice to take a knife out and plunge it into an innocent human being and take their life, death is final.
"We have a life sentence.
"We were a normal family, a kind, happy family.
"Charlie was a normal boy and it has destroyed our world because someone made that choice."
In an emotional end he added: "Please please think twice about what you are doing because you can't take that back."
TRAGIC LOSS
Charlie was stabbed to death following a mass brawl at a farmhouse in 2023.
The tragedy happened at a £1.5million farmhouse 20 miles from home, after his parents - who were vigilant on his behaviour - let him go after a series of questions about the bash.
Charlie, also known as ‘Cheeks’, suffered multiple stab wounds during the horror in Warnham, West Sussex.
The culprit, who was aged 16 and found guilty of his murder, cannot be named because of his age.
Charlie's parents are now campaigning for tougher laws against knife crime and told GMB they are getting their late son's pals involved in their project.
