Matt Lucas’s charity song Thank You Baked Potato, which aims to raise money to help feed NHS workers, is on course to reach the top five in the UK singles chart.
All money raised by the former Little Britain star’s song will go towards FeedNHS, an initiative set up to raise £1 million to get 6,000 meals per day into London hospitals for critical care staff working during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The song, which is available to download for 99p, is currently fifth in the Official Charts Company rankings, which is based on preliminary sales and early streaming reports.
The final chart ranking will be announced on Friday. Currently Dua Lipa, Drake, Saint Jhn and The Weeknd are ahead of Lucas in the race to be crowned number one.
