Geraint Vincent was praised by viewers for his moving tribute to tragic colleague Emily Morgan.

At the end of last night’s News At 10, he informed viewers of the sad news, a slight tremble evident in his voice, he paid a beautiful tribute to his tragic colleague.
Taking a deep breath, he said: “Now, We regularly report upsetting events that affects people’s lives. Tonight we have something to report that has affected all of us at ITV news very deeply.
“It is the death after a short illness of our on-screen colleague and much-loved friend Emily Morgan our much loved health and science editor.

“Emily worked here for 23 years first behind the scenes as a producer, but for most of that time lighting up our programmes every day as a political and then health reporter.
“At 45 years old, she was at the very top of her game as anyone who followed her peerless reporting of the covid pandemic will remember well.
“But she was also, as she wanted the world to know, a mum to her two cherished daughters, a wife, a sister and a daughter herself and it is with all of her family that our thoughts are with tonight.”
Viewers were touched by how he handled delivering the sad news, with one tweeting: “Geraint Vincent just broke my heart with that tribute to Emily Morgan. Understandably, he looked so upset.”
