Jess Glynne's Song Hijacked in White House Deportation Drama

Jess Glynne is fuming after the White House used her song from a viral Jet2holiday ad in a video about deportations.
Jess Glynne has said she feels "sick" that the White House has used the viral Jet2holiday advert featuring her song as the audio to a video promoting deportations. The White House posted a clip on X on Wednesday showing handcuffed people being escorted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) onto a GlobalX flight. Jet2's advert featuring Glynne's 2015 single 'Hold my Hand', and a cheery voiceover saying "nothing beats a Jet2 holiday" - which has become a meme - is played over the video. Zoe Lister, the advert's voiceover actress, told the BBC she would "never condone my voiceover being used" to promote what she called "Trump and his abhorrent policies." "The Jet2 meme has spread a lot of joy and humor around the world but the White House video shows that Trump has neither," she added. Responding to the clip, Glynne said on Instagram that her music "is about love, unity and spreading positivity - never about division or hate." The White House post on X was captioned: "When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!" It has been met by some with criticism - one user said the clip was "embarrassing and unprofessional", while another said that it "shows a real lack of humanity." Others have praised Trump for his stance on immigration.
