About Over The Rainbow (Single In Aid Of NHS Charities Together)

Amanda Holden is the latest big-hearted celeb to step up and help the NHS' ongoing battle against coronavirus - and she says she was inspired by Heart listeners' stories. The Heart Breakfast presenter announced live on air that she was releasing a charity single, a cover of Wizard of Oz classic Over The Rainbow, with all proceeds going to NHS Charities Together. She recorded the song for her forthcoming album, which will be released later this year, and came up with the idea to release it as a fundraiser just last week. Amanda exclusively told Heart.co.uk: "I’ve always said how amazing the NHS are, they have quite literally saved my life, as they have for thousands of others.
