100% of the earnings will likely be donated to charity, with half of the cash going to meals financial institution charity the Trussell Trust and the opposite half to the Band Aid Trust.
The couple mentioned: “I can’t quite believe it! We’re number one. The charity has made it five years in a row. How have we done this again?
“We need to say thanks to everybody who has supported us for the final 5 years. A large apology to The Beatles, and to all The Beatles’ followers… I’m sorry!
“The charity wins. The Trussell Trust gets Christmas number one again!
“Thank you to all of the individuals who have downloaded, all of the individuals who believed in us and introduced a little bit of Christmas magic. We love you all. Yes mate!”
