Holly Willoughby's emotional message to This Morning viewers over rules changes

Holly Willoughby became emotional today as she told viewers who were struggling that they were never on their own.

Holly, 39, spoke out following reports that the government may scrap support bubbles in a bid to stop spiralling coronavirus infection rates.

Holly's co-host Phillip Schofield said that taking support bubbles away would "throw the mental health of all ages into utter chaos."

Panellist Matthew Wright agreed with Phillip and said that mental health was indeed in crisis.

Then Holly spoke out and said: "Hearing news like this, be it rumour or tittle tattle or whether it be the truth of what we are facing later on.

"If you are struggling and if you've been ok and just about holding on up until now and this is the thing that tips you over the edge, the most important thing is don't suffer in silence.

"And you might not be able to see that person or get in that support bubble but you can ask for help, you can call someone.

"There are Samaritans, there's (mental health charity) CALM, we've got lots of helplines on our app, do not think you are on your own.

"Because nothing, whatever you're going through, nothing is worth that."

And viewers were quick to comment on Holly's message.

Wayne Broomhead said: "Holly talking sense! Please ask for help if you are feeling low mood. Life is still very worth living even with covid."

Ryan Glendenning said: "Well said Holly. You are never alone don't ever think that. There are people to talk to when you need it. Mental health as well as Covid should be at the forefront during this hard time."

And Chris Sproul said: "Well said Holly."
