Richard then responded: "Well if you look at this I think you'll feel that they feel the same."
The GMB host then played a video of a number of students singing their hit song, What The Hell Just Happened? in a choir, as Charlotte was seen fighting back tears.
"Awww, I just love them, look at them!" she gushed. "I hope that I inspire them by doing this. I love them!"

However, the source revealed the pair 'fizzled out' shortly afterwards, but remained on good terms despite not working out as a couple.

Together, the couple share two children, 20-year-old Grace and 16-year-old Alfred. In a statement released by his representatives at the time, Alfie said: 'After speculation about my marriage to Sarah ending, I can confirm that we have separated.

Loose Women's Kaye Adams hints at major life change after saying 'I lost my job'
Loose Women star Kaye Adams has opened up about the impact of the ITV daytime cuts, saying she may have to move into a one-bedroom flat after "losing her job" Kaye Adams from Loose Women has hinted at the possibility of downsizing to a one-bedroom flat after joking about "losing her job" on the hit ITV programme. Last month, ITV revealed major shake-ups in their daytime TV line-up, resulting in the loss of over 220 jobs and cutbacks to popular shows such as Loose Women and Lorraine. The broadcasting schedule now sees Loose Women airing for only 30 weeks per year, with Lorraine Kelly's programme also reduced to a half-hour format. In a significant shift, Good Morning Britain will be produced by ITV News at ITN instead of ITV Studios, extending its broadcast from 6am to 9.30am every day. Despite the changes, ITV Studios will continue producing This Morning, Lorraine, and Loose Women, which are set to air from a new central London location, reports Glasgow Live. On her How to be 60 podcast alongside Karen MacKenzie, the 62 year old presenter discussed the potential need for drastic lifestyle adjustments following the network's announcement. Adams shared: "I agreed ages to do this programme called Yorkshire Auction House, the whole thing is they get people like me who are ready to get rid of big bits of furniture, downsize and they take them to an auction house and they sell them off and they film it." Kaye Adams revealed she hasn't told her partner Ian that a film crew will be arriving at their home to collect various items she's given away, saying: "They're coming tomorrow with the truck apparently and I haven't told Ian. For the last week, I keep trying to start the conversation with him 'by the way, there's a film crew coming and I've told them that they can have that sideboard, that chair and that desk. "I was deliberating about the baby grand piano, but if I move into a smaller place I don't know where I'm going to put it. And now I've lost my job, I might be in a one-bedroom flat somewhere." The presenter previously told the podcast that the cuts "came out of the blue "and that she had suffered a few "sleepless nights". She said: "I didn't anticipate it, which is probably stupid in retrospect. You get into a sort of rhythm of life." The situation led to a few restless nights, with Kaye explaining: "I had a couple of sleepless nights I have to say, because it's just like the rug's been pulled from under your feet – what has been familiar." Despite the challenges, Kaye tried to find a positive perspective: "It's going to have an impact. Lots of people will lose their jobs completely which is terrible. It's a huge change. But I gave myself a talking to and I listened to my own advice for once – change is hard, but it can be good." She continued to focus on looking forward, rather than dwelling on the past: "The past is a trap, don't fear the future – I'm telling myself all these things. And maybe this is the nudge that I needed to make some changes in my life and I'll just have to go with it." Meanwhile, Kaye's Loose Women colleague Nadia Sawalha also voiced her disapproval of the cuts, describing them as "absolutely brutal" to production staff and completely "out of the blue". Speaking on her YouTube channel, Nadia praised the success of Loose Women and the Lorraine show, hitting out at what she described as "misogynistic" talk concerning recent cuts. The star said: "What people don't realise at Loose Women is that we're self-employed, I am self-employed. Every contract is a new contract. "I could be let go tomorrow, I could be let go in five years, you don't know because we're not employees. "What's been brutal, absolutely brutal, over the last week, honestly I feel tearful about it, is that hundreds of people... are going to be made redundant out of the blue, these are all the people behind the scenes that support us in every way."
