Speaking about the project, the TV star said: "There are so many challenges for children growing up these days, which have been made even more difficult by the year that we’ve had.

"Bringing joy and laughter to children is something I’m very passionate about, so I hope that this fun rendition of Jingle Bells will help to brighten people’s days - whilst encouraging them to support Barnardo’s and its Kidsmas campaign, if they can."

EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy also appeared in the mash-up and got into the holiday spirit as she sang the Christmas tune while wearing fun festive glasses and Santa hat.
