If actor Kellie Bright (EastEnders' Linda Carter), comedian Fatiha El-Ghorri (one of the writers on We Are Lady Parts), singer Ian Watkins ("H" from Steps) and reality TV personality Charlotte Crosby (Geordie Shore) thought that Sewing Bee was as quaint as it sounds, they don't know what they've let themselves in for.

Amid the seams, darts and sausage rolls, like any episode of The Great British Sewing Bee, the Christmas Special has the potential to make a lasting impact. Grant, a bona fide national treasure, is at the vanguard of the fight against low-quality, environment-damaging fast fashion, so his meeting of minds with the likes of Charlotte Crosby and H in particular could make for fascinating TV.

H singing the show out, on the other hand... we'll let you decide. Read on as we explain how to watch the Great British Sewing Bee Christmas Special from anywhere in the world.
