Pop star McFly’s lead guitarist, Danny Jones from Bolton and former Strictly Come Dancing star, Oti Mabuse, have recreated childhood Christmas photos - including one of the toy that inspired Danny to join a band.
The festive photos see the duo pose with cherished toys from ‘Christmas past’ - a retro pink telephone, and a rock n’ roll miniature electric guitar as part of a campaign to help children who may not otherwise receive anything in their stocking this Christmas.
Rock and Blues-loving Danny grew up in Bolton and studied for a BTEC National Diploma in music at Bury College before finding fame in chart topping band McFly.
