Former Scotland football manager Graeme Souness broke down in tears as he opened up about a painful health condition during a live television interview.

The Liverpool legend is swimming to Calais and back to raise money for DEBRA UK, a charity which carries out research into treatments for the rare condition Epidermolysis Bullosa.

The television pundit appeared on Good Morning Britain on Friday (18 April), alongside Isla Grist, who suffers with the condition.

Souness had to pause his interview as he was reduced to tears describing the impact the condition has.
