Michael McIntyre's dream Christmas

Michael McIntyre's ideal Christmas would involve Aled Jones, Cliff Richard, Noddy Holder and Jamie Oliver entertaining him and cooking up a traditional meal for his family.

Michael McIntyre wants to spend Christmas with Aled Jones, Cliff Richard, Noddy Holder and Jamie Oliver.

The 35-year-old comedian joked that he insists on spending the festive season with the legendary singers and makes the celebrity chef rustle up a turkey for him.

He said: "We only invite four people for Christmas Day. Aled Jones sings 'The Snowman' in the corner, Cliff Richard dances in the middle of the room, Noddy Holder wraps presents, while Jamie Oliver pops over to cook the turkey."

In reality, Michael spends Christmas with his wife Kitty, 35, and their two sons, Lucas, five, and Oscar, three, like "any other family".

He added in an interview with Closer magazine: "We're like any other family. My wife slaves away cooking a mean turkey and I make sure I have cranberry sauce holstered on myself at all times.

"The kids get so excited - they always get up at 11.40pm on Christmas Eve (24.12.11) and I have to tell them to hold on for another 20 minutes."
