The woman behind the viral Coldplay kisscam video has revealed to This Morning what it was like to capture the bombshell moment.

On July 16, during a Massachusetts, USA concert headlined by the world-famous British group, a couple were displayed on the big screens in a loving embrace.

But instead of cheering upon seeing themselves on the kisscam, the pair – who internet sleuths later claimed were Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his HR chief Kristin Cabot – ducked out of view.

‘Ooh, look at these two,’ Coldplay’s Chris Martin initially said, before adding as they ducked away from the camera: ‘Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy!’

Byron resigned from his position at Astronomer a couple of days later, having been CEO at the tech firm since 2023.

Now Grace Springer, the woman who filmed the incident, has revealed why she got her phone out in the first place and what the last few days have been like for her.

On Monday, she told This Morning: ‘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.

‘When I filmed it, I didn’t think much of it. But of course everyone was kind of chattering [about the moment] – there were over 50,000 people at the concert so it was a hot topic.’

She continued: ‘But it wasn’t until after the concert, where I was debriefing the moment with my friends, [that] I said, “Let’s review the footage and see if it really looks that bad” and I think it does.’

With the alleged affair between Byron and Cabot apparently exposed, and with Byron resigning soon after, Springer was asked how she feels about the impact the video has had.

‘I definitely feel for Andy [Bryon]’s wife and his family, and everyone that’s been hurt in the process,’ she began. ‘But as I said, there were over 50,000 people [at the concert].

‘I’m not the only person who caught it on camera, so if it wasn’t me that uploaded it then I’m sure someone else would have,’ she rationalised.

When the incident was over, Springer said she was able to forget about it briefly and continue enjoying the rest of the concert, which was at the Gillette Stadium in the north-east US state.

However, she conceded that, with full hindsight, she might have acted differently: ‘I never would have imagined this would have happened. If I had known, maybe I would have thought twice.’

At a gig later the same week, held in the US state of Wisconsin, Chris Martin issued a joking warning to fans in the audience who may appear on Coldplay kisscams in the future.

‘We’d like to say hello to some of you in the crowd and put some of you on the big screen. How we’re going to do that is we’re going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.’

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
