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."

Here We Go star Alison Steadman on heartbreaking reason she's quit theatre
Alison Steadman, star of BBC's Here We Go, has revealed she's quit theatre despite it once being her 'favourite thing' to do Actress Alison Steadman opened up about her decision to quit theatre during an appearance on ITV 's This Morning on Friday (25 July). The TV star sat down with Dermot O'Leary and Olivia Attwood to chat about her latest projects, including the third series of BBC 's Here We Go, but sadly revealed she won't be appearing on stage in the future. "This breaks my heart. You don't want to do theatre anymore," Dermot said to Alison, with co-host Olivia adding: "Stage fright?" Alison sadly revealed: "Yeah, really. I've put my shift in and it was my favourite thing. I absolutely loved it, but no more." Alison has starred in numerous theatre productions over the years, having kicked off her career in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie after finishing her studies. She has also appeared in Abigail's Party, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Entertaining Mr Sloane and Hotel Paradiso. Alison won an Olivier Award for The Rise and Fall of Little Voice. Elsewhere during the interview, Alison teased what's to come in the new series of Here We Go, which launches on BBC One on Friday (25 July). "We're so excited," she said, before revealing what her character Sue Jessop has been up to. "Well, she's moved in with them, it's what she's always wanted! She's living with them, she's rearranged the kitchen, as mother-in-laws do. She just loves it, she just loves being with all the family." Alison went on to discuss the unique way in which Here We Go is filmed. The series is filmed in one on-going take, meaning there is no opportunity for cuttings or edits. "It's filmed always in one long take, so there's no cuttings. It's quite tough sometimes. It's just quite tiring, sometimes the scenes can be four, five pages long," Alison told Dermot and Olivia. She admitted: "If you're filming it without a break, and you're doing take after take, sometimes you think 'Please let me rest!'" Alison stars alongside Jim Howick, Katherine Parkinson, Tom Basden, Tori Allen-Martin, Freya Parks, Mica Ricketts, and Jude Morgan-Collie in the hit BBC sitcom. The series, set in the town of Bedford, tells the unique story of the dysfunctional and eccentric Jessop family, from the perspective of teenager Sam (Jude Morgan-Collie), who films plenty of footage on his handheld camera. Flashbacks to less chaotic times also feature, giving the series a unique selling point.

Female executive caught on Coldplay cam resigns after embrace went viral
The female executive who was caught on camera embracing the chief executive of her company at a Coldplay concert, in a moment that went viral, has resigned, according to news reports. Multiple news outlets reported that Kristin Cabot, the executive in charge of human resources at tech company Astronomer, has resigned. Advertisement Her departure follows the resignation of chief executive Andy Byron, who quit after the company said he was being put on leave pending an investigation. The episode resulted in endless memes, parody videos and screenshots of their shocked faces filling social media feeds Cabot and Byron were caught by surprise when singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his 'Jumbotron Song' during the concert last week at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. They were shown cuddling and smiling, but when they saw themselves on the big screen, Cabot's jaw dropped, her hands flew to her face and she spun away from the camera while Byron ducked out of the frame. Advertisement 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Martin joked in video that spread quickly around the internet. When the video first spread online it was not clear who they were, but online sleuths rapidly figured out their identities. The company has previously confirmed the identities of the couple in a statement to the AP. Both of their profiles have been removed from Astronomer's website and a November press release announcing her hiring has also been deleted. Advertisement Astronomer was a previously obscure tech company based in New York. It provides big companies with a platform that helps them organise their data. Online streams of Coldplay's songs jumped 20% in the days after the video went viral, according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company.
