A mum broke down in tears after seeing a video of her daughter being attacked by bullies on This Morning.

Claire Walton took to the morning show to discuss the footage of her daughter Hollie being beaten up.

Hollie can be seen having her hair pulled and being dragged to the floor while a gang of children watch.

The video went viral after mum Claire decided to post it herself, after she heard that the 13-year-old’s attackers were “bragging” about what they had done.

However, that didn’t stop her from becoming emotional as she rewatched the video on the talk show.

After Philip Schofield asked if she was okay, Claire apologised and said that the footage was “hard for me to watch.”

“I can’t imagine as a parent seeing your child go through something like that. It’s horrific,” said Holly Willoughby.

Those watching the show thought it was horrific too.

They took to Twitter to share their disgust at the footage.
