Good Morning Britain viewers were left feeling emotional after a seven-year-old girl who had escaped the war in Ukraine performed Frozen’s Let It Go in the studio.
Amelia Anisovych, who went viral after singing Let It Go from a bunker in Ukraine, reunited with Susanna Reid in the GMB studio to sing her favourite song.
The pair had previously met in April earlier this year, after Susanna travelled to the Ukrainian border to conduct the ‘special interview’.
The young girl – dubbed the voice of hope – and her mum joined hosts Susanna and Ed Balls to give an update on life after fleeing Ukraine, and Amelia gave a performance of her infamous tune in an impressive three language.
After her performance, Amelia shared a cuddle with a beaming Susanna, after Amelia had gifted the presenter with a drawing she had made.
Speaking about being in London, Amelia shared that she was having a lot of fun, loved seeing Big Ben, and saw a ‘magical’ performance of Frozen on stage.
She added: ‘When I grow up, I would like to be a big, big singer.’
Viewers at home were left in tears watching the adorable segment, with one writing: ‘Don’t mind me… just crying at the little girl singing on @GMB – what a superstar!’
Another penned: ‘Oh my goodness @susannareid100 that was the best cuddle ever! What a star Amelia is.’
Meanwhile a third commented: ‘Watching the feature about Amelia on #GMB before I set of for work probably was the best idea. I have developed a sudden leak in my eyes that I will need to sort out before I get to site…’
Someone else wrote: ‘I’m in Tears, what a sweet and courageous girl.’
Through Amelia’s voice coach Anna Grabowksa, Amelia’s mum Lilia thanked the UK for its support and urged viewers not to forget about the Ukraine conflict, ‘because when you forget about it, it’s going to be very, very bad.’
Of a possible return to their homeland, where Amelia’s father remains, an emotional Lilia said, ‘I would like to go back, but it’s not possible, it’s very dangerous.’
Like Amelia, who originally fled with her brother and grandmother, more than 6million people have left Ukraine, and a further 7.7million have been displaced from their homes within Ukraine.
In latest developments, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has ordered Ukrainian troops to take back coastal areas which have been seized by Russia.
The country’s defence minister Oleksii Reznikov believes its military is equipped to start reclaiming land which is important to the economy.
On top of this, two Ukrainian battalions are currently being trained in England as part of Boris Johnson’s promise to train 10,000 troops every 120 days.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV & ITV Hub.
