GMB's Robert Rinder fights back tears as he's left emotional over heartbreaking interview

Good Morning Britain presenter Robert Rinder was left emotional after interviewing terminally ill teenager Liz Hatton, who met with the Prince and Princess of Wales

Robert Rinder was visibly moved as he reflected on a poignant interview with a terminally ill teenager on Good Morning Britain.

Alongside co-host Kate Garraway, Robert interviewed 16 year old Liz Hatton, who had the opportunity to meet Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, along with her family. Liz, who has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, was surprised by Rob and Kate with special tickets to SIX: The Musical, and she was also invited to photograph the cast.

"The producers of the West End show SIX: The Musical. They've heard how brilliant you are at taking photographs and they've invited you to attend the show and they've arranged for you to photograph the pre-show warm up," shared Kate and Rob.

Rob, fighting back emotion, asked Liz, "do you think you're up to it? " while Kate expressed her excitement about seeing the photos. Overwhelmed with joy, Liz said she was "blown away" by the offer and called it a "dream come true", reports the Mirror.

Wrapping up the interview, Rob inquired about the pride Liz's mother must feel. Her mother said: "We're proud of her every day; she's got so much determination. She isn't scared of dying; she doesn't want to leave us behind but she's not scared. She gets up and she lives every day. I'm not sure I could do it if I was her. She's amazing. I'll get told off if I cry so I better not!"

Rob was moved to tears, praising the family and reflecting on the importance of optimism during difficult times. He said: "It's Jewish New Year today and it's all about renewal and sometimes we really just forget with all the darkness and bleakness in the world to be optimistic. What a gift it is for Liz to remind us how possible that is despite all the bleakness."

Liz had kind words for the royals in a recent interview, telling The Mirror, "There was nothing about them that suggested they were superior. They were just really human to be honest and really natural. There was never a moment of awkwardness. It was normal to talk to them. They talked a lot about my photography."

William and Catherine, the Prince and Princess of Wales, took to Twitter to express their gratitude for meeting Liz, tweeting: "A pleasure to meet Liz at Windsor today. A talented young photographer whose creativity and strength has inspired us both. Thank you for sharing your photos and story with us. WandC."
