Bombalurina
Mallett formed the band Bombalurina, along with female vocalists / dancers Dawn Andrews and Annie Dunkley, and released the single "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini". The song entered the UK charts at number 23, rose to 13 the next week, then to 3 and finally to number 1 on 19 August 1990, where it stayed for three weeks. More than 1,000,000 copies of the single were sold around the World and it topped the charts in over a dozen countries. Follow ups included "7 Little Girls Sitting in the Back Seat" "The Bump", as well as an album, Huggin' an' a Kissin.
For "Tommy's campaign" he recorded "The Laughing Policeman" with Beatles producer George Martin.
Under the name of "Del Costa" he released "Hot Hot Hot" in 1992. The video was shot in Ibiza. It's now a collector's item.
In 1986 he also became a presenter on pan-European music channel Music Box, and for this reason he also took part in a sort of music group called The Rap Pack made up of some of Music Box's presenters, who released a single called Back To The Rhythm along with an accompanying video.
In 2008 Mallett featured in Skepta's video "Rolex Sweep" and accompanied Skepta to the MOBO nominations.
During I'm a Celebrity, Mallett and David Van Day wrote and performed the song "Biff Baff Boff We're Celebrities". The song has been subsequently put to music by Steps producer Barry Upton and was released on Jungle Celebrity Records in December 2008 as a download on iTunes.
