This Morning viewers were left in tears after a cancer-stricken four-year-old was finally reunited with her father after seven weeks apart due to the coronavirus crisis.
Mila Sneddon, from Falkirk, became a symbol of the importance of self-isolation when a touching snap of her kissing father Scott Sneddon, 50, through the living room window was shared online last month.
Mila, whose immune system is already compromised, was staying at home with her mother, Lynda Sneddon, 36, while her father Scott - who was still working - stayed elsewhere in order to reduce the risk of passing on COVID-19.
However today, the family gave an interview on Good Morning Britain and viewers were moved by Scott's sacrifice, admitting that they could 'only imagine' not being able to see their children throughout the pandemic.
