Good Morning Britain's Andi Peters was visibly moved as he delivered an emotional message to black children watching the programme, urging them to believe in their potential.
The competition host, fighting back tears, spoke about the importance of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and praised the show for its ongoing coverage. He stressed the need to keep the conversation going, saying, 'It is important that we all keep talking.'
Addressing black children directly, Peters said: 'Every black kid watching right now, you could do this job.' He acknowledged his position as one of the few black people on the show and encouraged viewers to aspire to similar roles despite not being in a privileged position.
Co-host Ben Shephard praised Peters for his openness, stating, 'I think it's really important that you feel like you have a platform to speak about these things.' Viewers took to Twitter to express their support, with one writing, 'Love @andipeters so much.'
