Robin Roberts broke down in tears on air on Monday following the death of top “Good Morning America” producer Thea Trachtenberg at 51 years old.

The anchor said that Trachtenberg’s colleagues “really, really loved her and that’s what we should remember.” Tearing up, she added, “Boy, she had a big heart, oof.”

Trachtenberg, who had been with the show for 20 years and had fought cancer twice, was anchor George Stephanopoulos’ main producer, sources told The Post.

As he presented a celebration of his producer’s life, Stephanopoulos — who on Monday revealed he had tested positive for coronavirus — said she passed away early on Easter Sunday.

He called her a “force on this show and a mentor to so many on our staff and a colleague and friend with a biting wit, skeptical eye and a very big heart.”

In a note to staff on Sunday, Senior Executive Producer Michael Corn said Trachtenberg had been “battling serious heart and lung disease for some time” and was not believed to have tested positive for coronavirus.
