Jess Glynne and Zoe Lister – the two people behind the viral TikTok sound of the summer – have finally met in person for the first time.
The London singer-songwriter, 35, and the Worcester actress, 43, had their work combined by budget airline Jet2 years ago for an advertisement campaign.
Jess’ 2015 UK number one song Hold My Hand has been the signature tune for Jet2 adverts – and onboard Jet2 flights – for many years now.
Former Hollyoaks actress Zoe was later hired by the airline to produce the now-famous ‘Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday’ voiceover on a number of their TV spots.
The sound clip of the Jet2 Hold My Hand mash-up has spread all over TikTok and beyond during the heatwave-hit British summer of 2025, becoming a viral sensation.
To celebrate, Capital Breakfast with Jordan North got Jess and Zoe in a room together for the very first time on Monday morning, with the pair joining in on the meme fun.

In a video posted to Instagram, host Jordan initially found it hard to contain his excitement, screeching at the top of his lungs that Jess and Zoe’s meeting was ‘finally happening’.
‘It’s happening! It’s happening!’ he screamed as Zoe entered the studio and gave Jess a massive hug, while there were calls for everybody to ‘calm down’ off-camera.
Co-host Chris Stark asked Jess: ‘You know what’s coming, right? We’ve got to chat about it. Of course, talking about Hold My Hand… You always hear that song whenever you go on a plane.

‘Then it’s in the advert. And then, for reasons no one really understands, this summer, it just exploded on TikTok. Has it surprised you how massive this has all gone?
Jess replied that she was grateful for the renewed interest in the song: ‘Yeah, it’s a massive surprise 100%. It’s the most amazing thing to see though.’
Jess then performed her own version of Zoe’s famous voiceover, reading the full script out in the studio: ‘Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday. And right now, you can save £50 per person. That’s £200 off for a family of four.’

Her rendition was greeted with massive cheers in the studio, including from Zoe herself, who laughed along to Jess’ impression of her.
Zoe then gave an impromptu live performance of her famous voiceover while Hold My Hand played in the background, once again being received by loud cheering from the hosts.
Hold My Hand spent three weeks at number one in 2015 and spent 51 weeks in total on the UK charts, eventually being certified 3x Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.
Zoe starred as Zoe Carpenter on Hollyoaks between 2006 and 2010, also appearing on Big Brother’s Little Brother and T4 On the Beach around the same time.
In the 2010s, she turned towards theatre – she was celebrated for her performance as Lady Macbeth during a 2012 run of the William Shakespeare play.
Jet2 started using her voiceover in 2019 – four years after she married musician Rob Castell.
