A host of stars performed live on STV to raise money for the Ukrainian humanitarian crisis.

I’ve certainly never experienced as moving a moment at a gig, and as I looked left to cameraman Tim, who I had been working with all day, I’m guessing the tears in his eyes meant he hadn’t either. She could barely speak when I interviewed her for STV News, but she still chatted to us – twice – and when I heard her rehearse earlier in the day, she sounded incredible. Another great moment was when Ukrainian singer Jamala, who won the 2016 Eurovision song contest, performed 1944, adorned in her national flag. There were uplifting performances from the likes of Emeli Sande, who had lost her voice earlier in the day, but her rendition of Brighter Days conveyed a message of hope. When I first saw the stage adorned in sunflowers with the backdrop of giant images from the war zone, I was struck by how powerful it was. Becky Hill’s powerful version of You Got the Love had everyone on their feet, while Ed Sheeran and Camilla Cabello’s duet of new single Bam Bam brought joy.

The DEC brings together 15 leading UK aid charities at times of crisis overseas to raise funds quickly and efficiently. You can still donate to the appeal - here's how. Another Love is nearly 10 years old now and after a while, when you put songs out, you lose sort of ownership of them in a nice way. Odell said of the event: “I guess I’ve been asked because I feel like I have a particular connection to it. I just really, really feel for those people who have been caught up in it”. When they asked me, I just got back from Bucharest and played a concert in the station where the refugees where arriving.
