Stacey Solomon broke down as she took part in the campaign
The campaign urged Brits to go outside at 8pm this evening and clap to show their appreciation for our frontline carers at this worrying time.

Cheers and applause were heard up and down the country, with some of Britain’s biggest stars taking to Instagram to reveal that they had also done their bit for the cause.

Stacey, 30, was reduced to tears as she filmed herself and 10-month-old son Rex clapping at the window.

With her eyes welling up in the short clip, she captioned the post: “I don’t know if you can hear but the whole street is clapping and I had to stop the camera because I was about to burst into tears.”

Gemma Collins also found the whole thing overwhelming
She later added: “Feel so grateful to have the privilege of being in isolation with my family, knowing there are so many INCREDIBLE, selfless heroes out there risking their lives to make sure we stay safe and get through this.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you. We love you. Our heroes.”

Gemma also found the entire thing emotional, breaking down in tears as she posted about the clapping on Instagram.

She said: “It was really emotional to see everyone coming together at this time.

The Beckhams took part in the campaign

Brooklyn is currently stranded in the US, but was sure to take part
“Everyone’s in the unknown at the minute and it’s just amazing that everyone came out and showed their support.

“It’s just a really scary time, I didn’t think I’d be this scared but I am, and we have just got to stay calm and hope that this goes away really quickly.”

Meanwhile, Victoria filmed husband David and their three youngest children clapping from their home.

Off camera, the former Spice Girl says: “We are all clapping to show our thanks to all the people who are working so hard for the NHS.

Amanda Holden stepped out in her PJs
“All the doctors, all the nurses keeping us safe and working so, so hard.”

David then added: “They’re away from their families, we are so proud of you guys, thank you so much.”

Victoria previously revealed that their oldest son Brooklyn is currently stranded in the US due to travel restrictions as a result of the deadly disease.

However, the 21-year-old still took part in the campaign from across the pond, sharing a video of himself clapping alongside the caption: “Far away from home right now but there in spirit.
