Emotions were at an all-time high during Wednesday's instalment of This Morning.

Celebrity hairdresser Trevor Sorbie appeared on the show to speak about his terminal cancer diagnosis. When viewers found out he had a few weeks left to live, many got in touch with the show to share their own stories with Deidre Sanders.

One caller in particular was looking for some advice and support on his own diagnosis. He told hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard: "I've been poorly for a couple of years and I was told on Monday that I've probably got four to six months."

Getting emotional, the caller revealed he has yet to tell any of his family and friends. He added: "I just wanted to see if, Deidre, you've got any tips or hints on how to tell people."

Asking how old he was, ITV viewers learnt the man calling with in his 40s. She replied: "It's just doubly tragic when someone as young as you are."

Offering some advice, Deidre told the man to try and share this news with those closest to him as soon as he could. Deidre added: "I know it's tough trying to find those words, it's partly your fear of what's coming, makes it very hard to find the words which is completely understandable."

Informing him that she'd stay on the phone to speak to him off-air, other callers rang the show for help.

The caller wanted advice on how to tell his family he had months to live

One woman confessed she was overwhelmed with her dad's diagnosis after learning his diagnosis is now terminal. Breaking down in tears on the phone, she wanted to know how to support her dad and her mum.

She added: "I've not long ago had my baby girl, which is their only granddaughter, I'm just really concerned on how to make memories with them."

Again, Deidre told the woman she'd give her more support away from the show, hearing how troubled she was. The final caller struggled to get through her situation, with Ben having to step in and help by reading what was happening.

He said: "Sharon recently found out that her friend of over 45 years has the same pancreatic cancer that killed her father."

People watching the show were moved to tears after hearing the heartbreaking stories. One person said: "Good lord, this is a really hard watch today… " Another added: "This phone-in is so sad."

Someone else commented: "Just made a cuppa, sat down and the #ThisMorning phone in is just heartbreaking. Can’t bear it, sending love to Nathan and Penny."

"I'm overwhelmed listening to this phone in," wrote one viewer. While another tweeted: "11:28am and my tears start. Bless you, Nathan. Too young. It makes me realise I should appreciate life more and stop moaning about petty stuff! "

This Morning continues weekdays on ITV from 10am.
