Beckham and Cowell for xmas No.1?

UPDATE 16.30 Dec 1: Daily Star article 

--

David Beckham, Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Cheryl Cole, Dannii Minogue, Piers Morgan, Susan Boyle, Cliff Richard, Brian Harvey, Noddy Holder, Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Amy Winehouse, Gordon Ramsay, Mr T, Ricky Gervais, James Bond,  Sharon Osbourne, Elvis Presley, JLS, Dance Flavas, The Chicken Man all in THE SAME XMAS POP VIDEO! Impossible?...well sort of!

Wouldn’t it be surreal if Simon Cowell was challenged for the No.1 spot this Christmas by himself? How odd would it be to see Simon Cowell congratulating himself on another Xmas No.1 whilst also commiserating himself on only getting to No.2!

Aptly named Simon Carol, the X factor boss’s leading double, and his team of Chippendoubles (Britian's Got Tallent semi finalists) including Eastbourne's Andy Harmer (David Beckham), are giving the UK a chance to make many people's Christmas wish come true.

'The song is a long overdue old school Christmas song, actually about Christmas but also with a cheeky dig at Simon Cowell’s monopoly of the Xmas charts,' said Andy.

'After Jon Morter’s Rage against the Machine campaign last year, what could top that? An original song about Simon Cowell sung by the man’s clone!'

The low-budget video was shot at the the same location as Olly Murs' track ‘Please don’t let me go’ and is packed full of recognisable faces. It includes past X Factor and Britian's Got Talent contestants and the doubles of the X Factor judges and even a cameo from Brian Harvey, lead singer of East 17.

The video shows Simon living everyday as if it is Christmas with Louis as his dogsbody whilst Cheryl and Danni as his cleaners in French maid outfits. Carol singers keep arriving and getting the door closed on them till Simon is visited by the ghost of Elvis.

All proceeds from the track will be going to the children’s cancer support charity, CLIC Sargent. CLIC Sargent provides all round care and support to children affected by cancer by providing a range of services included specialist nurses, play specialists, free accommodation near to cancer treatment hospitals, free holidays, and financial support.

Simon Carol (Andy Monk) added, 'Obviously this is the best Christmas single of all time. Once people hear it, I am sure they will want to buy it, because what could be a better Christmas present than hearing my voice every day over the festive period?'

The single is available for download from iTunes on the 13^th of December (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/artist/the-chippendoubles/id375684234) and is also on the CLIC Sargent website www.clicsargent.org.uk and Chippendoubles website www.chippendoubles.com. The cost is £0.79p per download and all profits goes to CLIC Sargent.
