Sir Rod Stewart has been helping people in Ukraine escape their war-torn homeland.
A flabbergasted Chris Evans got emotional yesterday live on air when he revealed the singer's efforts to help fund Ukrainians who are seeking refuge in the UK amid Russia's invasion.
The radio host was overwhelmed when he realised the kindness expressed by the rocker.
Hosting The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky yesterday, Chris was overcome with emotion when told about how he found out that the Maggie May star had been securing Ukrainian refugees a route out of their country amid the war, writes The Mirror.
Speaking to his co-host, Chris explained how he'd found out about Sir Rod's amazing efforts to help those suffering.
The 55-year-old set the scene by telling listeners that he had found a mouse in his home and asked his wife Natasha to call in the exterminator.
However, Natasha text her husband back informing him that their exterminator is actually away helping those suffering in Ukraine.
"He hasn't been around for a while because he has been busy driving to Ukraine and bussing refugees back to the UK, funded by Rod Stewart," explained Chris.
Clearly in disbelief while live on air, Chris went on: "And I've just found all this out now. Isn't that just great?"
"It's very moving, that is very moving. I haven't heard Rod Stewart talking about that at all," he added.
It comes after the music legend sent a message of support to a security firm that had been driving supplies to Ukraine in an array of vans.
Rod told operations manager Martin Jackson: "Martin, it's Rod Stewart here mate. Well done, for getting out there and helping.
"I've sponsored four trucks that are in Germany at the minute, they will come and meet you in Poland.
"Well done, son, I'm proud of you."
Following Chris' revelation about kind-spirited Rod Stewart, fans flocked to Twitter to praise the music icon.
"This is what celebrities should be doing - take a leaf out of Rod's book. Don't just share stupid posts - go out and do something amazing like this with all their money," one Twitter user wrote.
"Rod Stewart is honestly such an all-round wonderful man," another echoed.
"What a role model and incredible person," someone else gushed.
