During an appearance on Loose Women today, she said: "There has been lots of terrorists attacks recently and the kids come home and they never, ever say anything.
"But this particular one, they came home saying ‘Oh my God mum, did you hear about Manchester...
"All them kids got killed and stuff’ and I think how did they even know?
"Kids must know more than we think but they were deeply affected by this and they said ‘Does that mean that if we go to concerts now, this could happen?'
"I’m put in a situation because I don’t want them to think that wherever they go, something’s going to happen, you’ve just got to get on with your life.
"Things can happen anywhere but you can’t stop your life, you still have to go along with these things.
"But they were definitely affected by it.
"They wanted to know how many kids have died, and I’m not even prepared to talk to them."
The attack on the Manchester Arena is the worst terrorist attack in the UK in more than a decade.
Twenty two people died, many of them children, and many more were hospitalised with serious injuries.
