Mirage TV extends its deepest apologies to British singer Jess Glynne for the distress caused by the unauthorized use of her 2015 hit song “Hold My Hand” in a controversial White House social media post. The video, posted on July 29, 2025, featured Glynne’s song as part of a viral Jet2holidays advertisement audio, overlaid on footage of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation flights, captioned, “When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!”
Glynne, a prominent advocate for love and unity, expressed her outrage on Instagram, stating, “This post honestly makes me sick. My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity – never about division or hate.” Mirage TV echoes Glynne’s sentiments, as our platform is committed to promoting our Love, Peace, Unity Not Hate campaign through our AI newscasters. We are disheartened to see her music, which aligns with our values of compassion and inclusivity, misused in a manner that promotes division.
We also acknowledge the upset expressed by actress Zoë Lister, whose voiceover for the Jet2holidays advert was included in the video, and share her disappointment in its appropriation for political purposes. Mirage TV stands in solidarity with both artists and condemns the use of their work in this context.
Mirage TV sincerely hopes that the Trump administration will take swift and appropriate action to address this misuse, including removing the video and issuing an apology to those affected. We call for respect for artists’ intentions and the messages behind their work, ensuring such content is not repurposed to spread harmful narratives.
