Olly Murs has admitted that the experience of recording the new Band Aid single was "ridiculous".

The singer teamed up alongside a host of stars - including One Direction, Ed Sheeran and Bono - for a new take on 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'.

It was recorded on Saturday (November 15) and money raised will go towards efforts to tackle Ebola.

Speaking in a new interview with Billboard, Murs said that recording the tune was a surreal moment.

He said: "Oh, it was ridiculous. You know what, it was great to come together with loads of other English acts and artists. It was amazing. We really had a good time doing it. The video, everything: It's incredible. Just to be featured on the song is great.

"I'm just really, really pleased. It was a really special moment for me and my family. I just really hope people around the world get behind the song."
