The pair have joined forces for the first time to record the Christmas classic in aid of Barnardos. 

They released the song, originally released by Cliff in 1988, to mark both the festive season and the release of Nathan's brand new album Crazy Christmas.

Many of those watching at home took to Twitter to share their views on the performance.

Una and Nathan both joined host Patrick Kielty for a chat about their Christmas plans, with Una recalling one "disaster" that threw her family's dinner up in the air.

"It went fairly smoothly until I hosted my first ever Christmas a few years back when I was still living in the UK. I was ringing my mother asking for tips. How long does a turkey take and how do I get it.

"I went shopping, had the big trolly and went to the ham section. Found a fine lump of ham, she [her mum] said 'boil the ham the night before and roast it the next day'. I put it on a slow boil, went out and had a few scoops with my friends.

"Came back and that didn’t smell like ham, it was a strange smell. Lifted the lid and it was a white meat…there was no ham," she said.
