Phill Mitchell, 57, spent a whole weekend removing about 1,000 pieces of plastic waste from the river at Stanley Ferry earlier this month.

Heavy rain had caused the river to swell, causing the rubbish to accumulate.

With the help of friends, Darren Bray and Steve Cadell, Mr Mitchell managed to fill 65 bags with the rubbish.

Stanley and Outwood East councillor Matthew Morley said: “Phill Mitchell took it upon himself, very dangerously, to go down and get bags of rubbish - is there any way we can recognise the fantastic work he did that day?”

The mayor, Charlie Keith, said: “I certainly will recognise him, he’s an extremely brave man to be doing that, and he will be commended.”

The team said it had also taken calls about lost keys and burnt toast.

The West Yorkshire Force said: "People ringing 999 for inappropriate reasons are potentially putting lives at risk by taking call-handlers’ time away from genuine emergency calls."

The 22-year-old told the BBC he was surrounded by music as a child - his grandfather played with T Rex, while his dad owns a guitar shop - but as he grew up, he realised he didn't fit in.

"Six or seven years ago, Donny was a lot more toxically masculine, a lot more industrial, a lot more baggy, and people just didn't understand where my head was at," he said.

"For example, I'd want to wear a skirt to school, or paint my nails or dye my hair. My mum would love it, but youth leaders or teachers would make me feel like I was doing something wrong.

"It made me feel really small and misunderstood and like I didn't belong in the place where I was from."

Yungblud's Underrated Youth EP will be released on Friday, 18 October.
