The children’s TV duo have been playing around in the studio with the grime artist, with a Christmas single tentitively on the cards

It’s been four years since grime artist Tinchy Stryder last released an album, so what better way to stoke anticipation for your return than with a Chuckle Brothers studio selfie. Who needs flying blimps and extravagant iTunes partnerships when you’ve got two of comedy’s most established duos beatboxing in leather blazers?



The unlikely collaborators were captured on camera on 18 September, with both Barry and Paul Elliott alongside the MC. Paul, the younger of the two brothers, tweeted that they had been in the studio “laying down some cool stuff”, before the following video was posted.

Although Tinchy’s album is scheduled for 2014 or 2015, the comedy duo’s manager confirmed that they were no solid plans for a future release. “The guys are all playing around in the studio to see if anything comes up,” said Phil Dale. “A Christmas track would be fun but there are honestly no plans or deadlines.”

Susan Boyle, 2014’s X Factor winner and whichever fan led Facebook campaign gets launched this year for Christmas No 1 - you have been warned.
