Richard Wilkins broke down on live TV this morning whilst reporting Olivia Newton-John's sad cancer news.
The TODAY entertainment reporter was forced to fight back tears as he spoke of his long-time friend.
"Sad news this morning and spare a thought for the gorgeous Olivia Newton-John, please. The back pain that has been causing her issues recently, we thought it was sciatica, has turned out to be breast cancer," he started.
"Which has spread to her lower back...Sorry..." he said, fighting back tears.
"Olivia has postponed her immediate concert dates as she undergoes radiation therapy, he continued. "We send her all our love. She's a wonderful person. It is so sad."
