Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page!

For anyone who hasn’t followed this increasingly ridiculous story, I’m James Blunt (formally Joe Bangles CBE), and for the past six and a half years I have been asking famous people one very important question: what is your favourite cheese?

I’ve managed to get answers from over a thousand celebs, but one name has remained stubbornly absent from my cheesy list: James Blunt.

After years of trying, James finally agreed to reveal his favourite cheese if his new album, Airplane Mode, reached number one. In return, I promised to donate £1,000 to a charity of his choice. I also said I would legally change my name to James Blunt (which I am in the process of doing!).

Well, the album reached number one, James has chosen Blue Marine Foundation, and it is time for me to keep my promise.

I am completely committed to donating the full £1,000 however, this cheesy saga has been followed and supported by so many cheesy friends over the years that I thought it would be lovely if we could reach, or pass that £1,000 together.

If the back & forth has ever made you laugh and want to donate a few quid, please do! Every donation will help Blue Marine Foundation protect and restore life in our oceans, while also helping me turn years of cheese-related nonsense into something genuinely worthwhile and 100% of donations go directly to the charity.

Thank you, cheesebags. You’re all grate! 🧀
