Ed Sheeran and Jamie Oliver recruit big names for Food Revolution Day song

Ed Sheeran and Jamie Oliver have written a song together for Food Revolution Day.

The duo have teamed up to celebrate the day, which is being held this year on May 15.

They hope to inspire children to eat better - and it seems the track will feature an all-star cast.

Oliver told Australia's Nova FM: "I got an email this morning to call Paul [McCartney], he’s just put down bass on lyrics on a special anthem that I’ve written for Food Revolution Day.

"I wrote it with Ed Sheeran. It’ll go out in beginning of May, a viral campaign. We laid down the tracks and Ed set me the task of going out and getting the band together so I said to Paul, 'Will you lay down bass?' and he said yes!"

He continued: "In doing this song with Ed, nobody has actually said no yet. It is pretty amazing.

“Paloma Faith, Jazzie B from Soul II Soul is doing spoken word, Chris Martin is putting some keys down. Ultimately it comes down to kids and food so I think we can get a great message out there.

"The weird thing is the poorest communities in the world cook the most incredible food so a lot of it comes back to education."
