The night will feature a performance of “Fairytale of Weatherfield” by Shane MacGowan and Coronation Street cast members, an exclusive Emmerdale Text Santa sketch and a special, more mature episode of Take Me Out. ITV are also promising a number of exclusive live appearances from “very special, mystery guests”.
We’ll also see a special visitor to Coronation Street, as pop star and former X Factor judge Cheryl Cole stops by The Rovers Return.
The cast of ITV2’s hit reality series The Big Reunion, will also perform a live cover of the Wizzard festive track ‘I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday’. Profits from the sales of this charity single will go directly to Text Santa.
Also look out for a number of celebrities appearing throughout the evening to deliver their own personal, Text Santa message.
