Something from Under the Tree: Noddy Holder

We’re back with another festive treat to pop on when you just need a bit of time to yourself - don’t worry, we feel ya. So pour yourself a glass of something and settle in for a chinwag with another star of this year’s celebrated Christmas panto at the London Palladium: Julian Clary!

Don’t worry, there’s smuttiness aplenty - it is Christmas, after all... We'll be back with brand new episodes on Friday 10th January - have a happy new year!

Our trips down to the Cellar over the next few weeks have a decidedly festive feel, and we've decided to start with the Welsh singer, presenter and actor whose recording of 'Walking in the Air' shot to the top of the Christmas charts in 1985: it's Aled Jones! Aled talks us through his rise to fame as a child soprano and the bizarre, brilliant situations he found himself at such a young age. We also discuss sharing the karaoke with then Prince Charles (yep!) and some of the less glamorous aspects of a typical Jones' Ch. Tune in!
