Charlotte, who is a former deputy head of sixth form, was seen fighting tears as Richard showed her a video of her students singing their Eurovision final song What The Hell Just Happened?
Halfway through the interview, Richard said: "Charlotte, we've got a special message for you," as Charlotte responded: "I was a deputy head of a Sixth Form and they are like my second family, they're amazing!"
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!"
