“We hope to confirm a record tomorrow which will raise some money for the many people affected by this tragedy. Making calls tonight,” Cowell tweeted.

In 2010, Cowell memorably organised a star-studded ensemble to record a version of R.E.M.’s ‘Everybody Hurts’ for the victims of the Haiti earthquake, which featured Mariah Carey, Michael Buble and Kylie Minogue among many others.

He’s just one of many celebrities who have been pitching in to offer their support to the hundreds of families affected by the devastating fire, which started in the early hours of Wednesday morning in Grenfell Tower in north Kensington. So far, 17 people are known to have died, but that toll is expected to rise drastically as authorities attempt to account for dozens who are missing.
