Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid was left fighting tears on Thursday’s instalment of the ITV show when a devastated mother shared her story of her daughter’s traumatic death.
Abimbola Duyile, who is a mum-of-two, was left devastated when her 13-year-old daughter Hannah died after drinking one sip from Costa hot chocolate.
Hannah had a severe allergy to dairy, and was accidently served the hot drink with dairy milk which ultimately led to her traumatic passing.
Devastated mum Abimbola appeared on Good Morning Britain to share her heartbreaking family story in a bid to spread awareness for other parents and those who also live with severe allergies.
Speaking to host Susanna, 53, the brave mother recounted Hannah’s last moments as she said that her daughter died terrified and screaming after ingesting the dairy milk that was served to her.

Abimbola insisted that everyone who lives with food allergies should carry an EpiPen with them at all times, after she lost her daughter too soon. Susanna told the grieving mum: “We really need to share your information, because what happened to Hannah should not have happened. I know that you don’t want any other parent to ever be in this situation.”
Another Good Morning Britain viewer added: “I am bawling. Watching this poor woman be so open and raw about her lovely daughter’s death, I can’t even comprehend it.”
Abimbola is now calling on the government to implement tougher allergy awareness legislation after her daughter’s tragic death. A post-mortem examination found Hannah died after suffering a hypersensitive anaphylactic reaction triggered by an ingredient in her drink that caused an allergic response.
