Paige Dougall (17), teamed up with the former X Factor star to record ‘Going Through Hell’ after meeting Ella on STV News at Six earlier this year.
It is a touching song that highlights Paige’s battle with the condition, and aims to help others understand what sufferers are going through.

Hide AdPaige, from Kirkcaldy, said: “It is quite an emotional song as I wanted people to listen to take in what I’m saying about cancer and what we all have to go through.
"I know that some of my family and friends struggle to speak to me about my cancer, but since the song was released last week I’ve had a lot of people approach me to say sorry and that they never fully understood what I was going through.
"When I originally wrote it, I sang it to my nurses in the hospital who all got very emotional and all agreed that I should record it.”
All proceeds will be going to charity – and Paige has a few more songs in the pipeline.
