Who is Chunkz in Soccer Aid 2020?

Chunkz will will be hoping to make a good impression as he makes his Soccer Aid debut on Sunday.

The entertainer, social media personality and rapper is joining the England side for the big charity match which will take place at Old Trafford.

Chunkz, whose real name is Amin Mohamed, may be an unfamiliar name to some but not to his 1.1m Instagram followers.

He is famed for his appearance as Asznee in the 2017 novelty song "Man's Not Hot,'' which quickly rocketed him to fame.

Chunkz also posts rap battle videos on his YouTube channel, as well as challenges, pranks, and videos in his popular #MANDM series.

He even recently challenged Manchester City's Raheem Sterling Bottle Spin challenge while he filmed the Pepsi #UCLisback ad.

In 2019, Chunkz became part of the collaborative group known as Beta Squad on YouTube alongside four fellow YouTubers including Niko Omilana.

As for joining Soccer Aid, Chunkz will join the likes of Paddy McGuinness, Joe Wicks, Olly Murs and Ashley Cole as they take on the World XI side as the match is broadcast live on ITV.

The charity match, which raises money for Unicef, will also this year recognise the impact coronavirus is having around the world.

As a result, this year, every £1 donated is automatically trebled thanks to the UK Government and Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance.
