Union J Go Around London for Daybreak’s “Toy Box” Appeal!

Union J have met the Prime Minister David Cameron and Mayor of London Boris Johnson as they go around London to collect gifts for Daybreak’s “Toy Box”, which will be given to thousands of children cared for by Help the Hospices who are seriously ill.
Union J had fun with deputy prime minister Nick Clegg too joking about Clegg’s pink maracas and also got gifts from Labour leader Ed Miliband, before going to meet Johnson at City Hall.

After figuring out who Union J were, Johnson joked: “We talk of very little else”. Then the lads joked back: “We’ll get out of your hair”.

Union J were also received toys from Strictly Come Dancing and former Corrie star Natalie Gumede, our very own Sir Terry Wogan, Family Fortunes presenter Vernon Kay, This Morning presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, the women from ITV’s Loose Women and former Pussycat Doll and I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! Runner-up Ashley Roberts.
