Danny Malin has released a Christmas song called ‘Santa’s Takeaway’
The Youtuber's single will help to raise money for the Trussell Trust and MIND this Christmas
Rate My Takeaway star Danny Malin has released his own Christmas song called 'Santa's Takeaway'.
But it's not a selfish endeavour, rather the local Youtuber is releasing the song as a charity Christmas single to help raise money for mental health and food poverty charities to help people across the UK.
All proceeds raised from the sale of 'Santa's Takeaway' - which will be available to stream through digital services Deezer, Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal - will go towards helping the Trussel Trust and MIND.
The song will be released this week, on Friday 3 December 2021. Fans have been given the option to pre-save the Christmas single in advance of its release by following a link in Malin's post.
Sharing the news about his new Christmas charity single to Facebook, Yorkshire Youtube star Danny Malin wrote:
“Now then guys, how you doing.
“My Christmas single Santa’s Takeaway will be released on the 3rd December 2021 with all proceeds going to The Trussell Trust and MIND.
"You can pre-save the song @ http://bit.ly/SantasTakeaway right now
"Can’t wait for you all to hear it!:
We, for one, can't wait to hear what he's got in store for us - and we have a sneaking suspicion a few of his takeaway favourites might well get a cheeky mention in the 'Santa's Takeaway' lyrics.
Danny Malin first rose to fame earlier this year when he began recording reviews of his takeaways during lockdown and posting them to Youtube.
One of the first viral videos to get him noticed was a full English breakfast cooked by a grandma in Bolton, which Malin drove nearly 50 miles for.
With just under 500,000 followers on his Youtube channel and a further 265,000 on Facebook, he's shot to fame with people flocking to his pages to see where he might review next.
Some of the most notable places he's visited in Leeds include The Yorkshire Deli for their famous metre-long pizzas, Puds and Grub in Farsley for the 'cow and chicken' burger and 'chipsy king', and Chez Joel, a little food van in the centre of Leeds near Trinity selling French tacos and beef pattys for a fiver.
To keep up with the Youtuber's latest exploits, give him a follow on Youtube here. Personally, we are hoping that a music video will pop up on Friday when the new Christmas charity single 'Santa's Takeaway' drops.
