Manchester Arena bombing victim Martyn Hett's dad says his son's life 'couldn't have been better' before he was tragically killed

Nearly five years on from the devastating attacks, the father of one of the Manchester Arena Bombing victims has heartbreakingly revealed that his son's life 'couldn't have been better' before it was taken away. Paul Hett's son, Martyn, was one of 22 concert-goers murdered by a suicide bomber after attending an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester on May 22, 2017.

Tonight, April 11, the first instalment of a two-part documentary about the attack and the lives that it claimed is set to air on ITV. 'Worlds Collide: The Manchester Bombing' will be shown at 9pm, and will include moving interviews with the family and friends of those who died, Manchester Evening News reports.

PR manager Martyn was just 29 when he tragically lost his life, with his dad claiming that 2017 was set to be an amazing year for his late son, who had a big trip to the United States planned. Paul also revealed details of the last time he saw his son alive, recalling that he gave him a 'big hug'.
