The Chase: Man teams up with Shaun Wallace for Christmas single

Brian 'Huggy’ Farmer, of Odsal, and Shaun 'The Dark Destroyer' Wallace have released 'Party on Boxing Day', a reworking of 1980s hit Boxerbeat.

The pair are raising funds for a cause Brian credits with helping him battle anxiety and depression.

Proceeds from the record, which has been released on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon and other music platforms this week in the run-up to Christmas, will go to Andy's Man Club, the men's suicide prevention charity.

"Andy's Man Club has no set formula, but it just works for men all over the country," Farmer said.

"It's personally helped me with my anxiety and depression at a really low time in my life.

"I found an outlet in Andy's Man Club which has helped improve my life and my attitude towards life. That's not just true for me, but the thousands of men who attend every week."

Wallace, the former 2004 Mastermind champion who is now a regular on The Chase, described Farmer's run to a £22,000 share of the £66,000 his team won as "one of the best performances we have seen on this show".

It was after this that they became good friends which led to the criminal barrister agreeing to help support the record and even provide vocals for the song.

"It's a great coup to have Shaun on board," Farmer added.

"He's really interested in supporting mental well-being, not least because his line of work is incredibly mentally driven. Throw in being a Chaser too! He's been fantastic to work with."

The song is based on the post-Christmas lull of Boxing Day, with Farmer joking that he believes it to be unique in that it is the first festive record to be solely based around December 26.

He said: "Not only that, but it's the first reference of the King's annual speech, rather than the Queen's. But we just want to raise some money, raise some awareness and get more men to turn up and speak without fear of being judged.

"Andy's Man Club offers that: it is a fantastic charity that deserves to be given as much profile as possible. If we can raise some money for them along the way, all while having a bit of fun making this record, then that's great."
