Coldplay kiss cam recorder reveals real reason she filmed viral moment - 'I don't feel guilty'
Appearing on This Morning via video link, Grace Springer opened up about filming the moment - admitting that she was only recording as she hoped that she would appear on the Coldplay jumbotron.
"I was hoping to see myself on the big screen and I love to capture moments so that's why my phone was out in the first place," she said. "I was being hopeful."
"So in the moment when I filmed it, I didn't think much of it but everyone was chattering. There was over 50,000 people at the concert. It wasn't until after the concert when I was debriefing the moment with my friends. We reviewed the footage to see if it really looked that bad and it really does."
When asked by Dermot whether she felt guilty about posting the video, she said: "I definitely feel for Andy's wife Megan and his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process.
"But like I said, there was over 50,000 people and I'm not the only one who caught it on camera so if it wasn't me who uploaded it, I'm sure someone else would have."

I've splashed £1million to get the world's smallest waist -all my organs moved around because of it but I'm not done yet
Aleira wants to beat the record of Cathie Jung, who currently has the world's smallest waist WAIST A SEC I've splashed £1million to get the world's smallest waist -all my organs moved around because of it but I'm not done yet A WOMAN has revealed that she has spent over £1 million trying to get the world's smallest waist. Aleira Avendano, 33 has spent two decades cinching her waist down to just 18 inches, 16 inches smaller than the average British woman's. Advertisement 2 Aleira wants to have the world's skinniest waist Credit: Instagram aleiraoficial_sexy 2 She's spent £1 million on her unique look Credit: Instagram aleiraoficial_sexy The Florida-based yoga instructor has achieved her tiny waist by wearing a corset, and is determined to beat the current record held by 86-year-old Cathie Jung, whose waist is just 15 inches. Aleira's controversial methods have caused her internal organs to "shift and adjust" to new spots. However, despite the dangers, Aleira, who is originally from Venezuela, isn't ready to quit. "I find it challenging when it comes to buying clothes, as nothing fits," she told NeedToKnow. Advertisement "My sizes are unique, and I have naturally wide hips." "I have to have clothes custom-made for me. It's been a major investment – enhancements, treatments and healthy food. "A huge commitment. Honestly, my body should be insured." As well as spending £1 million on her waist whittling mission, Aleira has also spent £471,000 on cosmetic surgeries, including seven boob jobs, four nose jobs and veneers. Advertisement Aleira previously claimed that all woman "should have plastic surgery to be truly beautiful." And despite the health risks, Aleira has encouraged others to try and get a waist like hers. The 45-second trick to get a snatched waist that Love Island star swears by At the start of her waist cinching journey, Aleira wore a corset six hours a day, but she has now ramped this up to 23 hours. Wearing a corset comes with a myriad of issues, such as breathing difficulties, organ compression and muscle atrophy. Advertisement The model has now launched her own brand of shapewear, to help people achieve her "one of a kind look". "My shapewear line will change many lives" she said. What are the dangers of wearing corsets? Wearing corsets, a fashion practice that dates back centuries, can pose significant medical risks despite their aesthetic appeal. One of the primary concerns is the potential for internal organ damage. Corsets, especially when tightly laced, can compress the ribs and exert pressure on internal organs such as the liver, stomach, and intestines. This compression can lead to displacement and deformation of these organs, potentially causing digestive issues, reduced lung capacity, and impaired circulation. Breathing difficulties are another serious risk associated with corset use. The constriction of the rib cage can limit the expansion of the lungs, leading to shallow breathing and decreased oxygen intake. Over time, this can result in respiratory problems and reduced stamina. In extreme cases, prolonged use of tightly laced corsets can lead to conditions like atelectasis, where parts of the lungs collapse due to inadequate ventilation. Additionally, corsets can affect the musculoskeletal system. The constant pressure and altered posture imposed by a corset can weaken core muscles, leading to muscle atrophy and decreased strength. This can result in long-term back pain and poor posture once the corset is removed. There is also a risk of nerve compression, which can lead to numbness, tingling, and in severe cases, nerve damage. While modern corsets are often designed to be less restrictive than their historical counterparts, the potential health risks remain. It is essential for individuals to be aware of these risks and to use corsets sparingly and with caution. Consulting with medical professionals before incorporating corsets into regular wear can help mitigate some of these risks and ensure that any adverse effects are promptly addressed. "It's a gentle product with incredible results, created by me and inspired by the story of my own body." Aleria added: "I don't miss my old figure at all. Advertisement "People react in different ways. "Some follow me, some feel nervous, and others admire me or see my body as something crazy." She added that men "can't get enough" of her "exotic" figure.

Vagina eggs, naked cooking, KissCam gags: what's next for Gwyneth Paltrow?
So Gwyneth Paltrow has filmed a tongue-in-cheek advert for … guess who? Astronomer, the company you had never heard of before two of the tech company's senior employees were caught cheating, on kiss cam, at a Coldplay concert 12 days ago. Media coverage of this event has put it up there with the moon landings on the unforgettable 'Did you see?' chart. It's a cultural happening so we should have predicted that sooner or later Paltrow — the ultimate cultural influencer, not to mention the ex-wife of Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin — would pop up to put her spin on things. In the spoof ad Paltrow appears alongside the caption 'Temporary Spokesperson' supposedly to answer some of the 'many questions Astronomer has been getting in recent days' (starting with 'What the actual f ***?'). It's not really funny (don't bother googling), but it demonstrates the power of Gwyneth's reach. Like it or not, we live in a world where roughly once a month Paltrow makes some intervention, posts a picture or gives an interview that confirms her position as Woman With Her Finger on the Zeitgeist. In April she was on the cover of Vanity Fair talking about her wellness brand Goop and supposed rivalry with the new lifestyle peddler Meghan Markle, taking care to wish her well in the spirit of David Attenborough endorsing the efforts of a fourth form biology class. In June she posted on Instagram a video of herself standing in front of a cooker naked but for a pair of boxer shorts, rustling up her trademark 'boyfriend breakfast' (and we've only just stopped talking about whether shorts PJs work on fiftysomethings). This week brings an unusually big Paltrow dump as Amy Odell's (unauthorised) biography hits the shelves on Tuesday and while we've definitely heard a lot of it before, everyone's craning for titbits. I don't like it, as it happens, and I try not to look. I am very much in the category of low maintenance women who think: Gwyneth Paltrow, who cares? Quite good in Emma, lost it around the time of the vagina egg, got the unshakeable American confidence that they love on chat shows (does anyone remember the time she called her grandmother 'a real c***' in a Chelsea Handler interview?) but that makes our toes curl. She's hard to love, let's face it, but she's got the can't look away factor. We want to know more and added to that we're keen to pick up some conclusive dirt to justify our suspicions that behind the wholesome image Gwynnie might be a mean girl. • How Gwyneth Paltrow rescued Astronomer over Coldplay scandal Ideally, I'd like to hear that she had a hair-pulling fight with Jennifer Aniston; wears gloves and a surgical balaclava in bed; fired four nannies in the space of four months — that sort of thing. This is a fat biography, which has been serialised in the Mail, so surely the bumper muck rake we've been hoping for. Top of the shock revelations is that Paltrow's nickname for her ex-friend Winona Ryder was 'Vagina Ryder'. She smoked! Until Madonna told her not to. When she was going out with Brad Pitt in the mid-Nineties she was irked by his lack of sophistication and complained that when ordering caviar she had to explain 'This is beluga, this is oscietra' (hate that). She told Aerin Lauder years after their break up that 'he's dumber than a sack of s***' and there was a rumour that people thought she may have cheated on him with John Hannah while making Sliding Doors. Hmm. Bit harsh, but so far not a lot to go on if you're trying to work up some good old-fashioned celebrity loathing. She was just 22 when she was dating Pitt, and I've interviewed him and can confirm that while he's very charming and easy on the eye you wouldn't want him doing the map reading. There is some evidence of a lack of empathy and GSOH, however. Her father once told her she was turning into a bit of an arsehole, and there was that stuff about how she would rather die than let her kids eat cup-a-soup (what next? Angel Delight? Dairylea?). • What the Coldplay kiss cam couple tells us about the rich Likewise, you cannot warm to a boss who finds pee on the loo seat in the ladies at work and feels moved to write 'someone tinkled' in the company Slack channel, as Gwynnie did. Goop's chief content officer, now retired, has talked about developing a 'critical and punishing attitude' to her body while working for Paltrow's company and you don't have to be a vaginal egg refusenik to know that's legally checked speak for Paltrow can be a difficult perfectionist. What else would you expect from the 52-year-old pioneer of Big Wellness? But she can be funny. We're reminded in the book of the Utah ski accident trial in 2023 — which Paltrow attended wearing a stealth-wealth wardrobe that sold out every day, looking bored and haughty — that she managed to charm the jury. No one at home didn't smile when she explained, deadpan, that she had suffered because, 'Well, I lost half a day of skiing.' Odder still, by the end of the trial the details of her family holiday (the resort bill came to $9,000) seemed normal for not normals and everyone was willing her to win so she could get back to being unashamedly rich, successful, hoity toity and in control. The jury's still out as to whether we like or don't like her. We've sort of agreed to admire her.
