In a clip released ahead of the Christmas special, Richie tells Wallace, "You were handsome," while she shoots back, "You were pretty."

The two play EastEnders couple Alfie and Kat Moon, getting in the festive mood in front of the fire – and we can expect plenty of lip syncing for the musical challenge.

The show will be presented by former Spice Girl Mel B, with help from rapper Professor Green.
