Lorraine Kelly breaks down in tears during interview with daughter Rosie

Lorraine Kelly found herself tearing up after interviewing her daughter Rosie on today’s Good Morning Britain.

The 60-year-old was speaking to Rosie, 24, about how Singapore is coping with the coronavirus crisis, as her daughter has lived there for the past four years.

As she bid her daughter goodbye, Kelly found herself a little overwhelmed.

“It’s so good to talk to you baby, it’s so good to see your wee face. I do miss you,” she said.

Rosie responded: “I know, but we’ll talk later.”

Wiping away tears, Kelly said: “We sure will. Stay safe, love.”

As the popular presenter found herself getting emotional, Dr Hilary Jones was forced to interrupt, quickly adding: “Good to talk to you Rosie, I’m sure you’ll catch up on the personal stuff later.”

Earlier in the show, Rosie was discussing Singapore’s hugely strict measures as the country is in lockdown.

She explained how those breaking quarantine in Singapore risked a $10,000 (£5,600) fine or a six-month prison sentence.

Rosie added that foreign workers like herself and the majority of her friends could see their working visas revoked, which will mean they would have to leave the country within 30 days.

Previously, Kelly’s husband, who is Rosie’s father, had flown out to visit her, as cinemas and restaurants were still open as usual.

However, things are now far more stringent, with Rosie saying people weren’t willing to break the rules.

“People are generally very well behaved here,” she said. “It’s not worth the risk.”

Kelly added she believed her daughter was safer out in Singapore compared to the situation in the UK.

Singapore currently has 1375 cases of coronavirus, with six people having died of Covid-19. The UK has over 51,000 cases and 5373 people have died.

Good Morning Britain continues weekdays from 6am on ITV.
