Fiona Phillips is set to present a 'heartwarming' show called Forces Reunited, bringing soldiers and other people affected by war together. The former GMTV presenter and Strictly Come Dancing contestant was speaking at the Tesco Magazine Mum of the Year awards, which she hosted. She said: "It's like Surprise Surprise only with forces so it's added drama, tragedy, heartbreak. It's just very, very moving. But always with a heartwarming ending. "It's a studio show reuniting maybe an injured soldier with a nurse who saved him or someone who's on a ship that was blown up, found himself in the water and the man who saved him, it's just very heartwarming." Don't miss Forces Reunited on Sky Real Lives on March 22. See the interview with Fiona Phillips here
