Ben had been celebrating the end of his GCSE exams in Holloway, north London, in 2008 when he was stabbed 11 times after leaving a club with his friends. The son of Linda Robson, Louis, was with Ben when the attack took place, and gave crucial evidence to put Ben's attackers, Juress Kika, Michael Alleyne and Jade Braithwaite, in prison. Speaking about what happened on the night of his murder on Loose Women, Brooke said: "My family have never been the same since really."
