The CD, recorded in only 25 days, is out on Easter Monday. All profits go to War Child to help the injured and orphaned children of Iraq.

More celebrities gave their backing to the album yesterday. West End star Denise Van Outen said: "This is a superb project that everyone should support. I will be buying a couple of CDs and will ask my friends to buy one, too."

Former Boyzone member Stephen Gately said: "I am happy to support such a good cause at such a vital time. And with so many great artists contributing, I'm looking forward to hearing the CD."

Actor Jeremy Irons said: "We have all seen the devastating effect of this war on these poor children."

Sir Paul McCartney was one of the first artists to agree to be on the Hope CD.

He said: "Whatever the rights and wrongs of war, children are always the innocent victims."

Other stars who support the project include Dannii Minogue, Minnie Driver, James Nesbitt, Tamzin Outhwaite, Vic Reeves and Claire Sweeney.
