Speaking to Heart's Dev Griffin backstage at the event, Ed said: "I'm kind of nervous, I’m playing a song that I’ve never ever performed ever, and it’s going to be on live national TV for the first time.

"I’ve just been running it with Camila in the dressing room," he added. "But the last time I saw her was in December in the studio making this song, and now we’re about to sing it on TV."

Ed and Camilla were among a number of artists who performed at tonight's event, which was being held to raise money for the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) humanitarian appeal in Ukraine.

Opening up about his decision to get involved, he said: "I felt like I wanted to do something. I literally just shot a music video in Kyiv three months ago, I was literally just there. It was an amazing experience, I loved being there. We were there for about a week. I just wanted to come and do something."

Concert from Ukraine took place on Tuesday March 29, and Heart's very own Dev Griffin joined up with Capital's Sian Welby to bring you the music from backstage at the event. You can listen to them on Global Player.
