Andrew Neil broke down in tears on This Morning today as he spoke to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
Andrew, 72, appeared on the show to discuss the latest headlines in today's paper.
Royal editor Camilla Tominey also joined the panel via video link from her office.

Andrew said: "Listen I wanted to come in today and thank you for being so kind and wonderful."
Phil and Holly thanked him and Phil said: "Oh Andrew, that's a lovely thing to say and good luck on Sunday."
