Danny Malin is looking for extras to be in a new music video next week - and it's bidding for a Christmas number one.
Filming for the Christmas single has already begun, but the YouTuber needs 130 extras to join him for a fun video shoot.
Taking place at White Rose Shopping Centre on Tuesday 23 November 2022, this is the second Christmas song from the Rate My Takeaway star- but the first that allows the people of Leeds and surrounding areas to get involved and join in the fun.
All profits from the music single will go to MIND and The Trussell Trust charities.

This year, Malin's Christmas song is all about wishing England well in their journey through the stages of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and he hopes that it will beat the half a million views of last year, reaching a very respectable 7th place in the iTunes charts.
Santa’s Takeaway, the 2021 single appeared above Mariah Carey’s Christmas classic All I Want for Christmas, arguably one of the most famous Christmas songs of all time, so clearly Malin has got big boots to fill this year- and we can't wait to hear what he comes up with.
Danny Malin said: “We’re doing it again folks and just like me it’s going to be bigger and better than last year. We’ve got two charities lined up and we’re giving all profits to them, so let’s get this to number one! We’ve got professional songwriters in and everything. We’re mixing a Christmas single with a World Cup wish and I’m rapping some of it – it’s going to be a belter.”
The music video will also feature the White Rose festive activities will also feature in the video: including the new ice rink, Santa’s grotto and the Christmas Toy Appeal at The Village.
Steven Foster, Centre Director at White Rose, said: “When Danny asked us if he could use our festive backdrop in the video for his Christmas charity song, it was a no-brainer. Danny is a friend of the centre and he’ll bring even more festive cheer and smiles to our guests.
Bramley’s independent festival is back after a sell-out first year.
Three local businesses, no corporate sponsor, one big day.
That's the motto of Mill Fest - an indie festival returning to Swinnow Grange Mills in Bramley after a sell-out debut that brought more than 600 people through the gates.
Mill Fest began as a shared idea between three Bramley businesses who fancied putting on a proper day out for the area, and we're so glad they did.
Last August it turned Swinnow Grange Mills into a full day of live music, street food, flash tattoos, market stalls and cold pints in the sun. We can't think of a better way to spend the day to be honest.

This year Mill Fest is back and taking place on Sunday 2 August, and the plan is simple - keep what made it work and build on it.
There will be a full day of live music, the return of the flash tattoo day, more independent traders, street food and local beer. This time the team is keen to bring in more businesses and faces from around the area, and the full lineup and programme will be announced over the coming weeks.

Owen Wilson from Against the Grain Bar said: “We started this because we wanted to put something on for Bramley, run by the people who actually work here. Last year went better than any of us expected. The place was full, the sun came out, and it felt like the whole area showed up. We can’t wait to do it again.”
Danae Miller from Grays Salon said: "The aim for this year is the same day people loved, just a bit bigger. We’d love to get more local businesses and artists involved, and to see even more familiar faces down at the mill. If we get the weather, it’ll be another one to remember.”
American rapper cancels rescheduled Leeds gig AGAIN due to ‘ongoing illness’
Clementine Hall
Action Bronson cancels Leeds gig for a second time, and it's safe to say fans aren't happy.
Ariyan Arslani, better known by his stage name Action Bronson, is an American rapper, chef and TV personality with a huge following.
The star was meant to perform at Project House last Tuesday 30 June but the show was cancelled the morning of, and subsequently the venue released an updated date of Tuesday 7 July.
It seems fans of Bronson may be experiencing some deja vu, as the gig has yet again been cancelled with short notice.
Except this time, no rescheduled date has been given.

The statement by Project House reads: "We have been informed by Action Bronson's team that regrettably, due to an ongoing illness he will be unable to perform at Project House this evening.
"We're incredibly sorry to be cancelling at such short notice. We had hoped last week's postponements would allow for sufficient recovery time but sadly, that has not been the case. Action is as disappointed as we are and we'd like to wish him all the best. Refunds will be issued from the point of purchase."
And it's fair to say the comments are...interesting, with fans far from happy about a second cancellation.
One comment reads: "Well enough to play two shows in London and one in the Netherlands, but just can’t seem to shake a cold to get to Leeds."
Whilst another disappointed fan commented: "He’s not ill guys! Obviously not a knock on the lovely folks at project house, but that’s a bullshit reason he and his team have come up with for insurance purposes!"
