JASON Manford, Will.I.AM and Alesha Dixon were moved to tears last night when the cast of Loose Women performed Bridge Over Troubled Water on Britain Get Singing.

TV star Brenda Edwards led the Simon & Garfunkel ballad on stage – 10 months after the tragic death of her son Jamal aged just 31.

She was joined by co-stars Linda Robson, Coleen Nolan, Denise Welch, Judi Love and Kelle Bryan all for a very good cause – supporting ITV’s Britain Get Talking campaign.

Emotional Alesha kicked off the comments as she dried her eyes: "I can barely see because I've got tears in my eyes, and my heart is pounding out of my chest right now because I loved that so much.

"I loved that on so many levels." She added: "I can't think of a better group to be performing on Britain Get Singing."

Will.I.AM was barely holding it together and said: "That was perfect because it hit all the right emotional notes.

Gripped with emotion, Brenda added: "As my son would say, I wanted to just bring some self belief and I'm just glad that the ladies were here to share it with me, so thank you."

The group took part in Britain Get Singing alongside his celebrities from Love Island, Emmerdale, The Chase and Coronation Street.

In February this year, the professional singer and presenter was left heartbroken following the death of Jamal.

The businessman, DJ and founder of of online music platform SBTV was found dead at his home in west London.

An inquest has since ruled that the 31-year-old – who received an MBE in 2015 – died of cardiac arrest following a late-night booze and cocaine session.

Following his death, Brenda revealed that she received a touching letter from King Charles following Jamal's passing.

Jamal was a Prince's Trust Ambassador, meaning he had a close partnership with the now-Monach.

Britain Get Singing is available to watch on ITVX.
