A heartbreaking video has been released showing the daughter of Holby City actor John Michie playing with fairy lights shortly before she was killed by a drug overdose at a music festival.
The video, taken at Bestival at the Lulworth Estate in Dorset in September 2017, shows Louella Fletcher-Michie, 24, enjoying herself with her boyfriend, Ceon Broughton, 30, who is now standing trial for her manslaughter.
Broughton, of Enfield, North London, denies manslaughter by gross negligence and supplying the class A party drug 2-CP.
Today the jury at Winchester Crown Court retired to consider their verdict.
In the video, the yoga and dance teacher is heard making ‘whee’ noises and saying ‘I’ve got a pixie life’ in a high-pitched voice as she plays with the fairy lights in a tent. Broughton is seen smiling beside her.
It was shot by another man on a mobile phone who is seen encouraging Fletcher-Michie to show off her festival wristbands and laughs, ‘festival fairy Louella’.
The prosecution claims that Broughton failed to take reasonable action to get help for Fletcher-Michie, instead taking numerous films and pictures of her as she became distressed and eventually died.

The 14-second clip was shown to the jury as part of the trial, along with extensive, highly distressing footage of her confusion and distress as the drug took hold.
The body of Miss Michie, 24, was found off a path next to a secluded wooded area on the edge of the festival site.
Her actor father and his wife Carol, 60, drove 130 miles from their London home to the site having reportedly received a panicked phone call and a WhatsApp map pinpointing her location.
They were refused entry to the site by security but Louella's body was later found at around 1am.
Her heartbroken father told The Sun: 'We’ve lost our angel.

'It was just a tragic mistake, a tragic accident. She touched so many lives. She was so very positive, so bright. She had such energy. The tributes to her have been incredible.’
A source told newspaper her death could be linked to an unknown substance, which was 'too powerful'.
Her father had posted a heartbreaking picture of her excitedly sewing her outfit to his Instagram account on Wednesday, with the caption 'Sewing for Bestival'.
Talking after his daughter's passing , Mr Michie has said his 'angel' daughter's death at Bestival was a 'tragic accident' even though police had arrested a man on suspicion of her murder.

The 60-year-old actor spoke out after Louella was found dead in isolated woodland on the edge of the family-friendly music festival in Dorset.
The alarm was raised at the festival shortly before 1am when Miss Michie disappeared shortly after the headline set by the Pet Shop Boys.
Police began looking for her when friends said she had disappeared after watching the Pet Shop Boys on Sunday night at Bestival, held on the Lulworth Estate on the Jurassic Coast.
On-site police were alerted and her body was found on the edge of the site, which covers hundreds of acres close to the tourist landmark Durdle Door.
The woodland where her body was found was cordoned off and forensic officers combed the site.

Det Chief Inspector Sarah Derbyshire said at the time: 'Following the discovery of the woman's body we have now launched an investigation into her death. We have specially trained officers supporting her family at this very difficult time.
'We are working closely with the festival organisers and I would appeal to anyone with any information about the incident to contact Dorset Police.'
An initial post-mortem examination carried out at the time showed no clear signs of an assault.
Sources close to the family revealed that her parents dashed to the site as soon as they received the news.
Further examinations have been carried out, including toxicology tests.

She inherited her expert dance ability from her mother and was represented by the Mass Movement agency.
Paying tribute to Louella, her father described her as 'so very positive, so bright, so out there'

She was the oldest daughter of Mr Michie and Carol Fletcher, who was previously a dancer for television troupe Hot Gossip
Louella, whose godfather was One Foot In The Grave Star Richard Wilson, was able to perform ballet, bellydance, Bollywood, breakdancing, contemporary, disco, folk, jazz, rock and roll, salsa, swing, tango and tap genres.
She also worked as a model where her long blonde hair, green eyes and petite frame - a size eight - were much in demand through The Eye Casting.
She is understood to have worked for House of Voga, in London, where she led fitness classes.
Voga is a fusion of Yoga and Voguing, fitness and fashion, set to an 80s House beat and designed to empower, tone, get fit and stay flexible.

In total, 22,000 people attended the festival whose performers included the Pet Shop Boys, The XX and Dizzie Rascal.
On the first night of the festival, Dorset Police had warned people about rogue pale blue ecstasy pills that were in circulation and asked anyone who came across them to dispose of them.
It was claimed security manning the area near to where Louella's body was found was 'woefully understaffed' on the night of her death.
Some 30,000 revellers descended on the site for the four-day event but forensic officers were working at the scene as the festival came to a close and a cordon remains in place.
Chizzy Akudolu, who starred alongside Louella's father in Holby City and is on this year's Strictly Come Dancing, posted a message on Twitter in support of her former colleague.
She said: 'A good mate just lost his daughter. I can't imagine what he and his family are going through. Life man. Tell someone you love them. Do it now'.

In an earlier statement, his agent said: 'Sadly, I can confirm the tragic death of John Michie's daughter, Louella, at Bestival.
'John and his wife Carol ask that the privacy of their family be respected at this traumatic time.'
Michie and Carol met when she did the choreography and John did the dancing and ate the crisps in a Walkers advert nearly 30 years ago.
He said: 'I thought she was stunning and, when I found out she was in Hot Gossip, I thought, "Oh my God".
'I made sure I sat beside her at lunch and got her number.
'I told her I was organising a night at a rock 'n' roll club in London and asked her if she'd be interested since she was into dance. She said, "Yes", and a few days later I called her.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
