Emotions were high during the latest episode of ITV’s Lorraine.
The touching moment unfolded after the presenter chatted with ex-BBC Radio One presenter Adele Roberts about her recent London Marathon success.
As their conversation wrapped up, the Scottish host had a heartfelt surprise in store for the 46 year-old star
Lorraine announced: “Everybody is so so proud of you and we’ve got a wee message for you, it’s from your stoma nurse Elaine.”
Adele was visibly moved as a video from her nurse played on-screen, with Elaine expressing: “You have inspired so many people and patients with stoma’s throughout.
“You have been an absolute godsend, you have been a person, you know, that others aim to aspire to.
“What a great accomplishment, and thank you for carrying us along on that journey with you.”
Overwhelmed by the gesture, Adele tearfully thanked Lorraine, apologising for her emotional response, reports the Daily Record.
Lorraine comforted her, saying: “Aw, that’s gorgeous, I know it’s very- no you’re fine. I get it because the people that help you, that helped you to get back to be you again are so important. Sometimes, we forget that behind you, there’s a team.”
Adele didn’t hesitate to commend her nurse, telling Lorraine that without Elaine and the NHS, her achievements wouldn’t have been possible.
During her conversation on Lorraine’s show, she gave a nod to the host’s No Butts campaign, gratefully saying: “Without you, what you’ve done with no butts, thank you. It saved me.”
Yet there was more in store for Adele as the Scottish presenter had another surprise up her sleeve.
A representative from Guinness World Records appeared on set with an impressive accolade for Adele.
She announced: “Adele, you’re a shining inspiration to all of us, especially those with an impairment. We’re very proud to monitor this type of record title.
“We’ve been tracking you since the beginning of your journey and literally yesterday, we saw you across the finish line. Adele, you’re officially amazing.”
Overjoyed with the record, Adele listened as Lorraine informed their audience that she now holds the record for fastest female marathon time across all major global races with a stoma.
Lorraine expressed her pride, remarking: “We’re all so proud of you, we really are, it’s just wonderful. It’s brilliant. But, for goodness, sake just have a rest! You’re in pain, have a wee holiday. Just sit down, watch the telly with your feet up, please!”
