This Morning nurse

On This Morning on Wednesday (March 8), Phillip appeared out of the studio to find nurse Chloe.

Chloe has become one of few disabled nurses in the UK and was nominated by her mum Jackie to receive a ‘special treat’.

In honour of International Women’s Day, Phillip surprised the nurse and celebrated her achievements.

I’m not crying you are. What a gorgeous soul Chloe is.

Phillip said: “Despite being diagnosed with a rare disease at the age of 15. Chloe overcame countless challenges to become one of the only disabled nurses in the UK.

“We think she is an inspiration so we are going to celebrate her.”

Chloe enjoyed lunch with her mum in Bluebird Cafe, which is just opposite where This Morning is filmed.

However, their meal swiftly became interrupted as Phillip joined the pair and asked to bring Chloe back to the ITV studio to talk about her story.
