Good Morning Britain audiences were teary-eyed as the show aired a deeply touching reunion. On Thursday's broadcast of the popular ITV morning programme, presenters Ranvir Singh and Ed Balls shared the biggest news of the day. Still, viewers were gripped by an unforeseen emotional highlight when a grateful guest named Richard finally came face to face with Salena, the paramedic who saved him during his cardiac arrest.
Richard disclosed he has penned a heartfelt letter annually for 25 years to express his profound thanks to Salena, who restarted his heart in the back of an ambulance two and a half decades ago. During this landmark broadcast, they met in person for the first time. Reflecting on the poignant connection, Ranvir addressed Richard, saying: "So for 25 years you've been telling her about your life and how grateful you are that she was in the back of that ambulance, she restarted your heart.
" Ed then added: "Since that year you've not had the chance to meet her and thank her, until now." The studio atmosphere was laden with emotion as Salena, clearly touched, embraced Richard warmly. The moment transcended television as she recounted the unforgettable day of the rescue, her memories vivid as ever, reports the Mirror .
She recounted the harrowing experience, saying: "It was a normal day then we were called out to Richard with chest pains so we treated him and popped him in the back of the ambulance and I didn't expect anything more to happen but unfortunately it did on.
