Amanda Holden is reporting from the Ukraine border as she interviews people who have been affected by the conflict.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 51, has started a podcast to offer a platform to those caught up in the war.
Amanda is currently spending time at a refugee camp at Medyka in Poland, metres from Ukrainian soil.
The Heart FM presenter has praised the humanity and sense of community she has witness as generous donations have poured in.
She said: ‘I am literally watching people trickling in from over the border.
‘It’s extraordinary to witness how quickly people have got together. There’s a whole village here.’
The musical theatre star described the ‘stalls and stalls of food and clothes,’ adding that she’s seen ‘things from Asda and Tesco.’
‘It’s amazing where it’s all come from. People are serving teas and coffees and hot food,’ she shared.
‘Every single thing has been thought up. There are even dog leads and dog bowls and toys for kids. There is nothing that hasn’t been thought of.’
Amanda has shared a series of pictures and videos on her Instagram story, updating her 1.8million followers on the situation at the border.
One clip showed a queue of people going back into the capital of Ukraine, who wanted to return to help others after bombs hit this morning.
She also shared a touching video of a ‘peace pianist,’ who sat in the middle of the camp playing a gentle tune on the piano.
Amanda panned the camera around to show piles of donations, including duvets and clothing.
The TV star also shared pictures of charity stands and called out the British government for their response to the war, writing: ‘This little charity trying to make a big difference despite the ridiculous bureaucracy of our government.’
Amanda launched her Ukraine’s Hidden Voices Podcast after being contacted on social media by a woman from Ukraine.
The talent show panellist has so far made seven episodes after jetting to Poland to see first-hand what is happening.
When it launched, she said: ‘I wanted to use this podcast to speak with mums, dads, sons and daughters about what is happening on the ground in Ukraine.
‘At this time it’s vital that we don’t turn away, but we turn towards them and hear their stories and try to help in any way we can. Their stories are so important.’
Over three million people have fled Ukraine since President Putin launched attacks, the UN reports.
It is said to be one of the largest humanitarian crises of recent times.
