Matt Lucas’s ‘Thank You Baked Potato’ is helping to feed the NHS – and giving us an earworm
We were all entertained and informed when Matt Lucas recently revived an old Shooting Stars song with an up-to-date message.

What we didn’t see coming was that the song would be released as a fundraiser to provide food for the more-crucial-than-ever NHS.
#ThankYouBakedPotato is out TODAY, raising funds for #FeedNHS

Football writer, Amy Lawrence – among many others – suggested people join in.
The @RealMattLucas Baked Potato approach to sending out the right message and helping the NHS has been brilliant. Show your kids, sing the song, and support if you can. Do what any self respecting baked potato would say. https://t.co/40J50OFepg

So, they did. These were some of Matt’s favourites, and ours too.

Since it was made to raise funds for the heroes in the NHS, we thought we’d finish with this bit of medical potato choreography.
My colleagues and I love the song so much and it has been stuck in our heads ALL DAY! So much so that we made this video! Please RT as I would LOVE for Matt Lucas to see it to show our appreciation from all the nurses at St Andrews OPD in Broomfield, Chelmsford! pic.twitter.com/brflKDb8l0
