When she heard the couple’s story and revealed that This Morning would be donating £1,000 to Scott and Megan’s cause, Rochelle welled up.
Then, in an update later in the show, Vernon said that Megan had taken a turn for the worst and had gone to a specialist hospital.
However, they told Scott that since the earlier interview, This Morning viewers had logged on to his JustGiving page.
He now had a fantastic £140,000 raised.
Rochelle became emotional
At the end of the interview, Scott thanked all the This Morning crew for their help, and paid tribute to family and friends.
He urged his wife to keep going, and said that the money viewers had pledged had “blown his mind”.
And that’s when Rochelle got emotional.
Vernon’s helping hand
Taking a deep intake of breath and clutching her chest, she said: “Every time… it gets me.”
