Loose Women star says ‘you’ve got to let go’ as body found in Jay Slater search

The Loose Women panel got emotional after human remains were found in the search for missing teen Jay Slater, with Kelle Bryan making a poignant motherhood confession

Loose Women turned emotional on ITV as the panellists discussed missing teenager Jay Slater.

Human remains have been found in the area where his phone last pinged, and it is thought Jay died falling 600ft down a ravine in the mountains of Tenerife. The panellists discussed the “compassion” they feel as mothers while addressing his case.

Kelle Bryan pointed out that it was Jay’s first time abroad on his own, explaining: “As we were saying in the meeting earlier, it was his first holiday going on his own, and even that decision as a parent, making that first decision, is really difficult because you’re toying with wanting the child to have in independence but there’s the safety always at the back of your mind.

“My thoughts are just with that family. My heart as a mum goes out to that family, compassion for them, because right now what they must be dealing with and going through must be unbelievable.”

Charlene White went on: “It did get us thinking that we’re all parents. As Kelle has said, making that first decision and not letting your heart be broken by the fact that you’ve allowed them to go. You have to let go at some point.”

I’m quite a controlling mum, in a loving way, but I think what am I going to be like the first time she says I’m going to go abroad?”

Coleen Nolan said it never gets easier, including with her daughter Ciara Fensome. She said: “I did it recently and it is awful, you just want to go ‘You’re grounded. I don’t care that you’re 23, you’re not going’”.

Coleen further said: “I think there could be nothing worse for a parent than never knowing. I know personally I would spend the rest of my life looking and never being able to get any form of… not closure, because it’s not closure, you’re never going to forget. Hope, I guess

“They’re not worrying about, ‘What if he’s lost somewhere, what if he’s stuck somewhere?’ But it’s not the ending anyone wants. I don’t know them or the family but there’s still that element with me of, ‘They might find him, he might just be trapped somewhere.'”

Natalie Cassidy says she’s ‘overprotective’ as a mumCharlene discussed officials calling off the search, which helped get rid of conspiracy theorists and armchair detectives who might have hindered finding Jay.

A police statement revealed: “The mountain rescue and intervention group of the Civil Guard has located the lifeless body of a young man in the Masca area after 29 days of constant search. Given the complexity of the case, the discovery has been possible thanks to the incessant and discreet search carried out by the Civil Guard during these 29 days, in which the natural space was preserved so that it would not be filled with curious onlookers.”
