One of the most contentious tweets in recent memory, singer Jess Glynne, who used her voiceover in a travel advertisement, has criticized the White House.
British singer Jess Glynne has taken aim at the White House following the American admiration using one of her most iconic songs in a recent controversial social media post.
On Tuesday, the official Twitter /X account for the White House used the voiceover used in an advert for travel company Jet 2 to seemingly mock a group of migrants being deported. The audio, which is currently trending online and generating many memes, features Jess’ song Hold My Hand.
The viral TikTok sound begins with Jess singing her 2015 before voice actress, Zoe Lister delivers the soundbite “nothing beats a Jet2 holiday.”

The White House joined the many content creators and businesses that used the voiceover from a British airline ad in a contentious move to go viral earlier this week.
A GlobalX aircraft, a carrier frequently used by ICE, was shown in the post showing handcuffed undocumented people being led by obscured Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation, the provocative tweet was followed by the following statement. Nothing can compare to “it”!”
Amid the backlash to the poor taste tweet from the official account for the residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States Donald Trump, Hold My Hand singer Jess has revealed her disgust at the post.
Sharing a screenshot of the offending tweet, Jess told her Instagram followers: “This post honestly makes me sick. My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity – never about division or hate.”
In response to Jess’ post, a Twitter user wrote online that “I need her AND Jet2 to sue him separately for the maximum amount of money.” Her music is intended to bring healing, not hatred. Another poem was written, “Love wins every time.”
“Good,” a third wrote. Artists must guard their work from being propaganda. White house probably thought they were cute, but it only revealed how out-of-touch they are, lol.
President Trump departed Scotland on Tuesday as his five-day visit came to an end, with Air Force One taking off from RAF Lossiemouth in Moray.
The president concluded his trip by opening a new golf course at his resort in Menie, Aberdeenshire, on Tuesday morning. After playing on the new course, he flew by helicopter to the RAF base.
During his visit, he had earlier stayed at his other Scottish resort at Turnberry in South Ayrshire, where he enjoyed several rounds of golf. Despite the mostly private nature of the trip, he hosted Sir Keir Starmer at both resorts on Monday.
EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen also took part in a meeting with him at Turnberry on Sunday. As Trump cut the ribbon on the new course in Aberdeenshire, he said he would play a quick round before returning to Washington to “put out fires all over the world”.
In front of a crowd that included golfers, football players, Scottish First Minister John Swinney, and Labour leader Anas Sarwar, the US president teed off.
The US president said, “We started with a beautiful piece of land, but we made it much more beautiful,” just before the New Course’s first ball. Today, I’m eager to play it.
We’ll play it very quickly, and then I return to DC where we spread out fires all over the world. You know we put an end to the war when we did one yesterday. We’ve had enough wars to end them. That is much more crucial than golfing. It’s much more significant than I would like, to be honest.
Prior to the course opening, the president and First Minister Swinney had a more formal meeting on Tuesday evening. The situation in Gaza and the Scotch whisky tariffs were the topics of this meeting.
