A teenager who became an international news story after his dad dressed him up as a Yorkshire pudding has released a charity Christmas single.
James Paley covered his 13-year-old son Aaron in the crusty batter for Halloween and the pair went on to appear on ITV's This Morning.
The pair, from Southend-on-Sea, teamed up with a local songwriter and released All I Am on Friday.
The family hoped the piano ballad would raise money for the National Autistic Society and the NSPCC.
Mr Paley, who is the landlord at the Saxon King pub in Southend, said: "It is a phenomenal cause, it resonates with so many people and when people listen to it you can see it on their face that it really hits home".
The songwriter Mark Shrimpton has a son with autism.
Aaron appeared on ITV's This Morning with his father, and were subsequently featured on international news
Talking to BBC Essex, Aaron said: "I think it is really cool because it could go somewhere, and as we have quite a lot of followers on TikTok and they're all following along the journey of Yorkshire Pudding boy, it is a good next step."
The single is one of the bookmakers' favourites for the Christmas title, albeit competing against Wham and Band Aid 40.
