We should know to always expect the unexpected when it comes to all things showbiz, but somehow we didn’t ever predict releasing an R&B track.
Not only that, but the comedian’s first-ever single is about dirty laundry. Yes, really.
Russell has set his sights on topping the charts with his new song, titled Laundry Fight, which is about him arguing with his partner about her used underwear on the floor.
It’s a pretty hilarious listen, with lyrics such as ‘retrieve your G-string from the floor’ and ‘pop them in the wicker basket’.
Former I’m A Celebrity presenter Russell shared news of his new project on Instagram alongside a side-splitting parody video, which sees him dressed in a tank top and gold chain.
In the video, comedian Verona Rose plays his partner, and the couple bicker about her habit of leaving dirty knickers and used towels about the place.
According to The Sun, the song has been produced by some pretty major players in the music industry, including Nick Bridges who has worked with N-Dubz and Si Hulbert, who was written for One Direction.
Russell’s celebrity mates have been in bits over the single, with fellow comedian Jordan Gray commenting: ‘Bluddy brilliant.’
Dr Zoe Williams said: ‘Amazing!!! ???’
Meanwhile, actor Luke Kempner added: ‘?????I can’t get this out my head ffs.’
Russell, who has been married to Lindsey Cole since 2014, revealed that all proceeds from Laundry Fight will be going to Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).
CALM is a charity that helps everyone and anyone ‘struggling with life’. They have a Our helpline and webchat, which are open 365 days a year, with their staff answering a call every 66 seconds.
