David Tennant choked up as he admitted he feels "helpless" amid the Ukraine crisis.
The Doctor Who star - who is on the presenting line-up alongside the likes of Alesha Dixon, Lenny Henry and Paddy McGuiness - was presenting part of Comic Relief on BBC tonight, where he addressed the current events happening in the European country and got tearful at the viral video of a young girl singing Frozen in an underground bunker.
The viral clip sees a young girl singing Let It Go from the popular movie musical, her positivity and smile radiating through, despite all the horrifying things that are happening in Ukraine right now.
In an emotional plea, David spoke directly to the camera as he said: "There's [the crisis in] Ukraine and I don’t know about you but I find it very hard to see past that at the moment. I think it hit me because I feel so helpless because there’s a wee girl in a basement singing the same song that my kids grew up singing. It’s so scary and it’s so wrong."
Speaking about how important Comic Relief is for the UK and countries across the world, he added: "Once a year we do this thing together that reaches across borders and it reaches out to strangers."
