Charlotte Campbell: I told Ariana to sing her heart out

Last night around 50,000 people attended Ariana Grande's benefit concert for those affected by the Manchester bombing, including the parents of 15-year-old Olivia Campbell, who was killed.

Charlotte and Paul, who spoke to Good Morning Britain when Olivia was missing and after the tragic news of her death broke, joined us again this morning to talk about the conversation they had with Ariana prior to the concert and more.

The 23-year-old pop star was planning on singing a more subdued set to mark the tone of the occasion - but on Sunday night announced on stage that she was going to perform her "hits" because Charlotte told her that's what Olivia would have wanted.

"She didn't feel it appropriate to play the big ones that everyone wanted to dance to," Charlotte told Piers and Susanna. "We said no, you play your hits, you sing your heart out, you make everyone get up and dance and smile and sing along with you. Don't you let anyone tell you not to do something."

Watch Charlotte and Paul tell us how they are now trying to find positivity among their grief, how they have found comfort in friendship with the mum of Lee Rigby - plus they also shared a special message for Ariana.
