This morning on Good Morning Britain, its stars were debating whether people have a right to privacy in public places - and presenter Ed Balls found himself in a fiery debate with guest Lewis Oakley.
"I feel very sorry for their families, I actually feel very sorry for them. I'm really sad that they've ended up in this situation," Ed said after Lewis defended the couple.
"However, he's the Chief Executive of a company who ahs now resigned because he was having what seems to be an illicit affair with one of his employees and they stupidly - in fact, she was the head of HR in the company - stupidly at a concert they were canoodling.

New images show brazen behavior of Coldplay concert couple before Chris Martin caught them in the act
A new video has surfaced showing ousted tech CEO Andy Byron getting cozy with his HR chief Kristin Cabot at last week's Coldplay concert just moments before the band's kiss cam caught them red–handed. Byron, who resigned just days ago amidst a swirling scandal, is seen with his arm around Cabot, swaying to the music at Boston's Gillette Stadium. The footage was unearthed by concertgoers actively searching for more incriminating evidence involving the alleged couple, who were seated prominently in the front row of the mezzanine. Images show them stood up next to other seated patrons, with Byron pressed close behind Cabot. The pair's open display of affection, directly in the line of sight of Chris Martin and his bandmates, took a sharp turn when the kiss cam focused on them. Their initial smiles quickly morphed into panic as they attempted to hide their faces and sink out of view. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipped, 'Oh what… either they're having an affair or they're very shy.' Byron, seeing himself on the big screen, appeared to mutter, 'F****** hell, it's me.' The awkward moment elicited roaring laughter from the 55,000–strong crowd and has since garnered millions of views online. Both Byron and Cabot, employees of the over $1.3 billion tech company Astronomer, were immediately placed on leave following the incident, which ultimately led to Byron's public resignation. Astronomer announced Byron's resignation in a statement on Saturday. 'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.' Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy will stay on as interim CEO. 'While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. We're continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems.' Astronomer acknowledged the awkward situation in the statement announcing Byron's resignation. 'Before this week, we were known as a pioneer in the DataOps space, helping data teams power everything from modern analytics to production AI,' the statement read. 'While awareness of our company may have changed over night our product and our work for our customers have not.' Public records suggest both Byron and Cabot are married. The new CEO of Astronomer issued a statement announcing his official role on Monday, as he appeared to suggest he's thrilled about the awkward Coldplay concert cuddling scandal that landed him the job. Pete DeJoy took to LinkedIn to announce his new and now official role. 'The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name,' he wrote. 'I'm stepping into this role with a wholehearted commitment to taking care of our people and delivering for our customers. 'Astronomer's foundation remains strong, built around the thriving Apache Airflow community,' he went on, adding that the company 'won't let you down'. Byron is married to wife Megan Byron, according to public records. She removed her husband's last name from her social media profiles shortly before the viral moment exploded. The 50-year-old fled the couple's $1.4million home in Northborough, Massachusetts, and has been trying to keep a low profile at their $2.4million luxury property in Kennebunk, 106 miles away. Cabot meanwhile is married to Andrew Cabot, who is a direct descendent of one of the original Boston Brahmin families. The term 'Boston Brahmin' refers to the historic aristocracy in Boston, dating back to the the earliest English colonists. These ultra-wealthy families held significant social, political and cultural influence from the 18th century onward. Andrew is chief executive of Privateer Rum, a Massachusetts-based booze maker. He is also heir to his family's $15.4 billion fortune.

Lady Gaga, Coldplay and Alice Cooper honour Ozzy Osbourne during concerts

His Black Sabbath band mates – Terence 'Geezer' Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward – led tributes to Osbourne alongside fans from his home city of Birmingham and celebrity friends including Kiss star Gene Simmons and Queen guitarist Sir Brian May. His death at the age of 76 comes just weeks after Osbourne took to the stage for a farewell concert at Villa Park in Birmingham – a stone's throw from where the band was formed in 1968. The Back to the Beginning concert featured performances from Anthrax, Metallica and Guns N' Roses, with Osbourne's Black Sabbath bandmates the last to appear on stage. Lady Gaga Lady Gaga paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, wearing a t-shirt and playing his debut solo single Crazy Train (Ian West/PA) US pop star Lady Gaga took to the stage in an Ozzy Osbourne t-shirt as she ended her first Mayhem Ball show in San Francisco on Tuesday. 'We'll miss you Ozzy', she said, as Osbourne's song Crazy Train played in the background. Crazy Train was released in 1980 as Osbourne's debut solo single, which featured on his debut solo album, Blizzard Of Ozz. The Bad Romance singer, 39, is currently touring her latest studio album, Mayhem, across the US and Canada. Coldplay Chris Martin performed a rendition of Black Sabbath's Changes during a show at Nashville in tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne (Aaron Chown/PA) During a concert in Nashville, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin led a rendition of Changes by Black Sabbath in tribute to the heavy metal star. 'Okay Ozzy we love you, wherever you're going, thank you for everything', he said after playing the tune on a piano. The song was originally released in 1972 as part of the Vol4 Black Sabbath album, and was re-released in 2003 as a duet with Osbourne's daughter, Kelly, containing revised lyrics. Singer Yungblud, who has hailed Osbourne as 'the greatest of all time', played the song during his farewell concert on July 5. Alice Cooper US rockstar Alice Cooper described Osbourne as an 'unmatched showman and cultural icon' in a social media post that said the band had found out about his death 'minutes before going on stage in Cardiff, Wales'. Cooper and his band dedicated the show to Osbourne and posted a clip of them shouting 'Ozzy' before going onto the stage. Following the show, Cooper summed up his thoughts and said: 'The whole world is mourning Ozzy tonight. Over his long career, he earned immense respect among his peers and from fans around the world as an unmatched showman and cultural icon. 'I always saw Ozzy as a cross between the prince of darkness, which is the persona his fans saw, and the court jester. That was the side that his family and friends saw. 'He was and will continue to be a rock n roll legend. Rock n Roll is a family and a fraternity. When we lose one of our own it bleeds. I wish I would have gotten to know my brother Ozzy better. 'Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and the rest of the Ozzy brood – our prayers are with you tonight. A titanic boulder has crashed, but rock will roll on.' Ghost Swedish rock band Ghost dedicated their New York show at Madison Square Garden to Osbourne. In a video posted to social media, frontman Tobias Forge said: 'We're going to dedicate tonight's show to the memory of the life and laughter of Ozzy Osbourne. 'For being the Prince of Darkness, he sure gave us a lot of light. So we're going to tap into that tonight and take it forward.'
