Bradley was particularly affected by the story of a lady named Ruth, who is unable to visit or care for her son who has Huntingdon's disease. Speaking to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield about the sad issue, the Breaking Dad presenter explained after watching Ruth's video: "It's hard enough to see your... It's hard enough, I'm sorry," before holding back the tears.
"It's hard enough to see your parents go, but if your child is going to go before you, something needs to be done, it's so upsetting," he added. Bradley's emotion was clearly difficult for hosts Holly and Phil to watch, as the two looked visibly moved by their friend's words.
