Any human would have reacted the same way, and certainly someone with children as Joanna does.
To be honest I've no idea why there is always a debate or it's picked up on when a presenter shows emotion. THEY ARE HUMAN like the rest of us.
I distinctly remember Jane Hill getting emotional, as well as countless others.
It’s accepted nowadays too, in a way that perhaps wasn’t many years ago. I remember Alastair Stewart talking about how he kept having to pinch his leg to stop himself from crying whilst presenting coverage of the Beslan
school massacre in 2004.
