Speaking about the single, Cher said that she found the recording process to be “very emotional”.

Minogue said: “Children in Need is such a special charity and so loved by everyone, including me. It was a privilege to take part in this recording with so many amazing artists. This year it feels even more poignant than ever, and I hope we can all come together to raise as much as possible.”

The single, which was put together by BBC Radio 2, was recorded and filmed by artists in locations across the world, from Cher in Malibu to Robbie Williams in Switzerland to Jay Sean in New York and Yola in Nashville.

It will be released on Children in Need Day on Friday (13 November), with the video debuting during the live appeal show on BBC One that evening.

At least 50p from each download sale will benefit Children in Need.
