Lisa Snowdon was overcome with emotion during her latest appearance on This Morning.
The 50-year-old TV personality appeared on Tuesday’s episode (July 12) to chat to hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary about the latest news on the show’s Menopause Bus.
The ITV daytime show launched its first-ever menopause bus last week to help raise awareness of the symptoms of the menopause and offer support.

Following the end of the segment, Alison reached to to Lisa to ask if she’s ok as she look visibly upset during the conversation.
It comes as ITV has become one of the first companies to appoint a Menopause Mentor, offering support an advice to staff members who are struggling with the symptoms of the menopause.
Hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield announced the news during Wednesday’s show (July 6) and headed outside to take a good look at the bus.

On introducing the bus – which was outside London’s Television Centre today – Holly told viewers: “Every great road trip needs a good bus and here’s ours!”
The initiative aims to change the way people think and talk about the menopause.
Its symptoms directly affect half of the population, whilst indirectly affecting many others. It remains one of the biggest taboos left to tackle and This Morning are on a mission to help.
Dr Nighat told Holly and Phil: “We just want everybody to come along – share your experiences, share your stories and get some advice as well.
“Anybody that has a question, that wants to speak to a doctor, come out and say hello to me, that’ll be really nice. No question is silly, nothing’s off limits, nothing’s taboo.”
Phillip later asked: “Why do you want people to come and see you on the bus?”
