The poet performed a piece from his new book upon request from Susanna and her co-host Ben Shephard. One particularly moving line read: "To find peace in me is still a dream to be. So, yeah, I hope you're proud of me and I hope one day if I get to Heaven mum, I hope there's great hospitality.
"When no one's looking, throw me down a white rose and if it lands in my lap, my feeling will be true, mum, Heaven does have a balcony."

"Your mum knew that you loved her, Hussain," said Ben.
Susanna went on to say: "Your mum's so proud of you," before Ben reiterated: "Your whole family and we are as well because it wasn't that long ago that we did that interview with you and you won the poetry competition and now look at you, all these years later. You've written your own poetry book."
Susanna added: "I think, also, in the wake of the loss that so many people have experienced in the last couple of years, saying those words will really resonate with people watching."
