According to Digital Spy, everyone from Susan Boyle, Union J and The Feeling to Coronation Street’s Shayne Ward and Catherine Tyldesley will be popping by the lodge, where they will (hopefully) be getting more Christmassy than a bauble-laden Christmas tree on top of a reindeer in the middle of Lapland.
Alexandra Burke, Scouting For Girls, Daniel O’Donnell, Emmerdale’s Gemma Atkinson, Michelle Hardwick and the cast of Mamma Mia will also be getting involved in the festive cheer, sharing their ABBA memories.
The Mamma Mia cast will reportedly be performing hits from the musical itself.
The guest of honour will be ABBA’s own legend Björn Ulvaeus, who will also be sharing his own personal ABBA memories.
Speaking about the big bash, ITV commissioning editor Asif Zubairy said: “No-one wrote a better list of sing-along pop classics than ABBA, and Paddy’s going to be hosting the most musical, festive and fun party on TV this Christmas.”
That’s our Christmas Eve started.
