Amanda Holden shares heartbreaking messages with a Ukrainian mum caught in conflict
It was contact from one mother to another that TV and radio presenter Amanda Holden has claimed truly brought the harrowing situation in the Ukraine home to her.
The distressed voice of a refugee is then heard announcing: "Nobody is going to break us, we are strong. We are Ukrainians," whilst another adds, "The sky is more dangerous for us right now than the Russian ground troops because we are being killed with rockets and with planes." "I put something up to raise awareness of the Red Cross," she disclosed. "And then from that, I noticed a comment in my Instagram from a mother who was sheltering in a car park from the bombs in Kyiv, and I started a conversation with her which then resulted in me actually being able to call her.
Theatre star Amanda revealed that she was able to make and maintain further contact with the mother than initially reached out to her during her time at the Polish camp, and updated viewers on whether or not she'd escaped from the dangers on the ground in Ukraine. "I thought, do you know what, I'm talking to these people who are clearly distressed, who are very displaced, bewildered by the entire situation, from the comfort of Heart's studios, and I should just go out there really and see it for myself, and that's exactly what I did."
