Actress tells how her brother Ben Kinsella's knife death has devastated her life

Brooke Kinsella says the world is now too unsafe for children

Brooke Kinsella has revealed that her brother's death has rocked her so much that she's vowed never to have children.

16-year-old Ben Kinsella was knifed to death of by a gang of teens in Islington, North London, last month.

Grief-stricken actress Brooke – best known for her role in EastEnders – says losing him has changed her life.

‘I’ve always wanted to have a family, but not any more,' she says. 'The world’s too unsafe to bring children into.

‘Mum tried her hardest to keep him safe, but you have to let young people live their lives.'

Brooke now says her youngest sister Georgia will have less freedom.

‘Mum will never let her out of her sight now. The world is changing and I just want to change it back.’

Juress Kika, 18, Michael Alleyne, 18, and Jade Braithwaite, 19, all from Islington, are being held in custody on suspicion of Ben's murder.
