Holly Willoughby broke down in tears during the latest edition of This Morning as she watched a clip of a Ukrainian girl belting out Let It Go from Disney’s Frozen.
The video of the little girl’s moving rendition of the hit song was recorded while she hunkered down in a bomb shelter in Kyiv and has gone viral as Ukrainian forces continue to fight off a Russian invasion.
Footage of the girl, named Amelia, singing at the shelter was first posted on Facebook by Marta Smekhova, who says she filmed it with permission from the girl’s mother.
Holly and co-host Phillip Schofield watched the video live on air during Monday’s edition of the ITV daytime show.
The mother of three became overcome with emotion and began to shed a tear.
This Morning contributor and royal editor Camila Tominey also cried while discussing the moving video.
Fans watching at home were also left emotional after watching the video.
Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: “Holly, I don’t think there’s any words to describe what’s going on in this world right now. Heartbreaking.”
Another added: “I was bought to tears along with Philip and Holly there watching that beautiful child sing Let It Go while sheltering from the Russian bombing. What is our world coming to. Devastating.”
The footage has since been shared 99,000 times on Facebook.
It has been reposted on various social media sites, with each version racking up tens of thousands of views.

When the young girl finishes, the crowd erupts in cheers and applause.
“Bravo! Bravo!” one voice exclaims, as a shy and rosy-cheeked Amelia clutches her hands in front of her face.
Some are seen lying on the floor, while others stand or sit around Amelia and record her performance on their phones.
The song was originally recorded for the soundtrack of the animated Disney film Frozen. Sung by actress Idina Menzel and written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.
