Gogglebox star Sophie Sandiford was reduced to tears as she broke down watching footage of the war in Ukraine.
In the most recent Gogglebox episode, the Channel 4 show featured a segment which included devastating BBC News footage of a bombing in the eastern European country.
The scenes deeply affected Blackpool siblings Sophie and Pete
LancsLive reports that Sophie spoke to her brother about how it must feel for families to be separated.
It comes as countless women and children flee the country while men stay behind to fight.
She then made a heartbreaking promise to her brother that she would stay behind with him if there was a war, BirminghamLive reports.
Pete said: "I don’t know how I’d feel if I got held back, to fight the war.
"Because what do you do? You can’t go, “No, I’m going,” but, by the same token, do I really want to be getting shot at and potentially killed?
"What’s more valuable to me?"
Sophie burst in tears as she responded: "I’m choking up even thinking about that. Because I would just stay with you."
Pete insisted that he wouldn’t let Sophie stay behind in his attempts to console her.
Fans of the show were immediately touched by the duo’s close relationship.
