Good Morning Britain star Ranvir Singh's heartbreaking reason for taking son on holidays
Ranvir Singh has revealed the heartbreaking reason why she takes her son on holidays.
Chatting to Holly Rubenstein on her The Travel Diaries podcast the Good Morning Britain presenter explained that her desire to travel the world with her 12-year-old son stems from the death of her dad when he was just 42.
She said: "I have always had a very strong sense of my own mortality. So my dad died when I was young, when I was nine and he was 42 and I think since the moment that I became a parent I think I've had this you know, this fear of what if, what if I go early, then what is he (her son) left with?"
With that in mind, she said that she has always been keen to squeeze in as many trips abroad with her son: "I always think that I want to be able to give him the opportunity to see as much of the world and do as many things with me, so that if something were to happen to me, he'd always have those firsts.

Lets just go to Dorset, we just went to Dorset recently. Lets just do some other stuff that is still memorable, but is not driven by my own sense of I need him to just remember us being here."

Meanwhile, the ITV presenter also spoke about the time she met the former US president Donald Trump in 2017 when Theresa May went to visit him for the first time since he was elected.
But, when asked what she thought of the former president, she said: "Gosh, I can't actually tell you what I really thought, because the words in my brain are probably not the ones that are journalistic."
Ranvir made her first appearance on GMB in 2014 where she was appointed features correspondent and news presenter alongside the likes of Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid. And, three years later she was promoted to the shows political editor.
