A This Morning caller was in floods of tears when she called up to talk about her worry about her mum working as a nurse amid the coronavirus crisis.
The ITV chat show was hosting an anxiety helpline with psychologist Emma Kenny to discuss viewers' fears about the outbreak of the deadly bug.
Caller Samantha could barely speak as she spoke about her worries that she would lose her mum, who she's being separated from.
She pulled on Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's heartstrings as they tried to reassure her.
Samantha said: "My mum is a nurse and I've been really struggling with waking up each day.
"I keep getting really emotional because I'm worried about my mum."
Emma told her that she was allowed to feel worried but advised her not to panic as her mum know what she's doing.
She said: "It's completely normal for you to feel this way, I just want you to acknowledge there's nothing wrong with you.
"This is just a dead genuine reaction to somebody you think is the most important person in your world and you care more about them than anything."
Phil told her that her as her mum is only 58-years-old and not unwell she isn't in at risk group.
He also asked her to think of her mum as a hero.
The TV host said: "You have to start looking at the positives here and the other side of things is your mum is going off to battle.
"Your mum is a hero in all our eyes.
"That's another way to view your mum as one of Britain's heroes right now."
