Will Mellor, Happy Mondays stars Bez and Rowetta and a host of other celebs have teamed up to make a new version of Vindaloo for Euro 2020.

The song, by the band Fat Les, became a football anthem during the 1998 World Cup.

So the group – which also includes Paddy McGuinness, Danny Dyer and Keith Lemon - are rebooting it for this year’s championship, with all proceeds going to NHS Charities Together.

They are urging the public to help get the track to number one and to dig deep to buy Vindaloo Two t-shirts.

Mellor had been teasing the track on social media in recent days, sharing little clips of the stars taping the song.

He has now posted a video on Instagram encouraging fans to help it hit the top spot.

“Come on, let’s get this song to number one,” he urged. “Not only to say thank you to the NHS, but also to get behind England in the Euros!"

He went on: “Come on people, put this on before every England game, put the song on, listen to it, get into the spirit and gather your family around.
