Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway delivered devastating news during Monday's broadcast, revealing that 15-year-old Charlotte Niddam lost her life in a bar fire at a Swiss ski resort. The teenager was among 40 victims who perished in the inferno at Crans-Montana on New Year's Day.
Authorities have confirmed the identities of all those who died, with 15 of the victims being under 18 years of age. Charlotte Niddam studied in Hertfordshire, and her family have said they are devastated.
ITV correspondent Amy Lewis reported from the scene, noting that thousands of people turned out for a march and that hundreds of flowers and candles have been laid at the site. The bar's managers are under investigation, and a special ceremony will be held on Friday as a moment of national mourning.
The news prompted an outpouring of grief on social media, with viewers expressing condolences and calling the tragedy 'heartbreaking'.
