Consumer champion Martin Lewis and LadBaby are reworking the Band Aid song Do They Know It's Christmas? to help tackle poverty.
Social media star Mark Hoyle and his wife Roxanne (LadBaby Mum) are the first act to be allowed to recreate the hit Band Aid number, getting permission from Bob Geldof, Midge Ure and the Band Aid Trust. They will release the track titled Food Aid on December 16, with half of the money raised going to food bank charity the Trussell Trust and the other half to the Band Aid Trust.
Geldof and co-writer Ure's first version of Do They Know It's Christmas? raised £8m for famine relief in Ethiopia. They gathered a group of musicians together in 1984 for the charity single.
