Dermot O'Leary emotional as teen boys reveal how they saved man This Morning host Dermot O’Leary was holding back tears during Thursday's show after speaking to two teenagers who risked their own lives to save a suicidal man. Last weekend, the youths had to restrain a man for over an hour until the authorities came and handled the situation. However, as they spoke to the ITV hosts, Dermot was overwhelmed by their bravery after they jumped onto the train tracks to rescue the person.
Speaking to one of their dads, he said: “As a parent, you have these two feelings to reconcile. “One, I can’t believe you put your life at risk, this is your everything, isn’t it? Then, the second thing is those values and roles you, your wife, and your family have instilled in them. “You must be so proud, I mean, I feel - I’m crying now.
You must be so proud of them.” During the show, viewers learnt the train was just 45 seconds away from hitting the teenagers and the man, before they managed to get back onto the platform. After seeing the two boys on the show, it wasn’t long before people watching took to Twitter to praise their actions.
