Tara and Martin Cosser lost their son Charlie, 17, last year when he was stabbed to death in a horror knife attack at a house party.
The brave parents are now campaigning for tougher laws against knife crime and begged young people to think twice before carrying a blade.
Rob, a criminal barrister himself, was clearly choked up before the interview began, as Kate said: “You did warn us you were going to get emotional.”
But Kate was obviously emotional herself by the end of the tear-jerking segment.
She let out a pained sigh as Rob asked: “Do you still feel he’s [Charlie’s] there?
“I mean is there still a connection, do you still want to go to your phone?”
He could be heard saying: “Oh god,” as she replied: “I still send him a message every morning and I tell him I love him.”
Devastated dad Martin then added: “I still open his door to see – I know he’s not there, but honestly it’s so hard.”
Kate, who is no stranger to grief after the recent death of her husband Derek Draper, 56, empathised and said: “It doesn’t feel real,” before appearing to wipe her eye.
Rob said their pain was “deep and would connect with so many people”.

He then asked the Surrey-based couple to hammer home their message to youngsters who carry knives.
Martin said: “My message is it doesn’t matter what your background is, it doesn’t matter where you live – working class, affluent area.
“Everybody has a choice.
“When you make the choice to take a knife out and plunge it into an innocent human being and take their life, death is final.
“We have a life sentence.
“We were a normal family – a kind, happy family.
“Charlie was a normal boy and it has destroyed our world because someone made that choice.”

In an emotional end he added: “Please, please think twice about what you are doing because you can’t take that back.”
TRAGIC LOSS
Charlie was stabbed to death following a mass brawl at a farmhouse in 2023.
The tragedy happened at a £1.5million home 20 miles from his house after his parents let him go to the party after quizzing him about the bash.
Charlie, also known as ‘Cheeks’, suffered multiple stab wounds during the horror in Warnham, West Sussex.
The culprit, who was aged 16 and found guilty of his murder, cannot be named because of his age.
Charlie’s parents are now campaigning against knife crime and told GMB they are getting their late son’s pals involved in their project.
