BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2 have announced they are bringing together two global superstars for this year’s official BBC Children in Need single.

Niall Horan and Anne-Marie have reimagined a Radio 2 classic – Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac – and given it a Radio 1 twist.

Niall Horan, said: “I have supported BBC Children in Need many times over the years, but given what we have all been through over the last year and a half, it feels more important than ever.

“Togetherness sits at the heart of BBC Children in Need, and that’s what this track is all about. I hope people enjoy it, but above all, I hope it lets anyone who might be struggling right now know that we are here for them.”
