Jo Good, the fashion presenter on ITV's This Morning, made her first studio appearance since being injured in the Bedford train crash last month. Hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard welcomed her back on Tuesday, July 7, 2026.
Jo Good describes the crash experience
Good was a passenger on an East Midlands Railway train that was struck by another train on June 19. The crash killed driver Shaun Burton and injured 162 people, with 102 requiring hospital treatment. Good suffered four fractures to the right side of her face after being thrown from her seat.
She told viewers: "I flew out of my seat and landed on this [points to right side of her face], so I've got four fractures in my face." She praised the makeup team for covering her injuries. Good added that she had originally planned to catch a later train but changed her mind to return for her radio shows, calling it a "sliding door moment."
Details of the train collision
The crash involved two trains traveling from the Midlands to London St Pancras. Good was in the middle carriage of the stationary train that was hit by an express train. She recalled: "It's the weirdest thing. I flew out of my seat... it was the whole of the right hand side [that was impacted] - fractures, bruises, [but] otherwise nothing."
She described the immediate aftermath as "silent" with no screaming or shouting, as passengers were in shock. A dishevelled guard instructed those who could to evacuate the train.
Co-hosts' welcome and viewer reactions
Cat Deeley said: "This is Jo's first visit to the studio since a terrifying incident last month." Ben Shephard added: "We're thrilled to have you back. Bouncing back, full of energy as ever and full of sunshine." Viewers on X (formerly Twitter) sent well-wishes, with one writing: "B***** terrifying! So good to see Jo so well, despite her injuries, but will be hearing that crash for a long while I imagine."
Good expressed gratitude for the warm reception, saying: "Can I just say thank you for the welcome everybody gave me coming back here. It's been amazing." The segment highlighted how tragedies can bring out kindness in people, as noted by Deeley.
