This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield had a heartbreaking phone in on Wednesday's show that reduced viewers to tears.

An 80-year-old widow named Margaret, from Devon, said she was absolutely desperate to go for a walk with someone. "I feel very lonely, I am one of thousands of people in the country who want people to just be grateful to be with someone. "They are very lucky, and I feel very isolated and alone. "I lost my little dog two and a half months ago, he was 16 and a half, I am greiving. "Lately I feel like there isn't a purpose any more." Josie Gibson, who also stars on the show, offered to go for a walk with Margaret, who was overjoyed to hear that. "Thank you everyone, your show is my lifeline," she said.
