In a heartwarming display of maternal instinct, Rochelle Humes abruptly left the This Morning set to comfort her distressed daughter Alaia-Mai during Wednesday's live broadcast. The incident occurred after the 10-year-old accidentally referred to the show's iconic green room as "the red room" while introducing a segment.
A Mother's Instant Reaction
Viewers watched as Rochelle, 35, immediately sprang into action when she noticed Alaia-Mai's embarrassment. The former The Saturdays singer could be seen whispering reassurance to her daughter before swiftly escorting her off-camera. "Don't worry darling, it's fine," Rochelle comforted the youngster, demonstrating her quick thinking and nurturing nature.
Behind-the-Scenes Support
Co-host Ben Shephard expertly handled the situation, joking: "We've all been there!" while Rochelle attended to Alaia-Mai. Production sources reveal the young girl recovered quickly thanks to her mother's support and was laughing about the mix-up shortly afterwards.
Viewers React to the Touching Moment
The unscripted incident has sparked an outpouring of support on social media:
- "This is parenting goals! Rochelle handled it perfectly"
- "So relatable - we've all had those cringe moments as kids"
- "Alaia-Mai did brilliantly for her age!"
This marks Alaia-Mai's second appearance on the ITV daytime show this year, following her successful baking segment debut in January. Industry experts suggest such authentic moments resonate strongly with audiences, making them invaluable in live broadcasting.
