Matches in DBpedia 2016-04 for { ?s ?p "* Ten years after their music dominated the airways, and after a phenomenal comeback year, the bands from ITV2's hit series The Big Reunion are back in the recording studio – producing a Christmas single in aid of Text Santa. * The Big Christmas Reunion gives viewers an access-all-areas pass to witness what happens behind the scenes when – for the first time ever - Blue, Atomic Kitten, Five, The Honeyz, B*Witched, 911 and Liberty X join forces to record music together. They will be recording one of the best-loved tracks in Christmas history – "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day" by Wizzard. With just two days to record a Christmas hit, the cameras will capture all the drama, excitement, rivalry and pressure as 26 pop stars come together to work with legendary music producer Cutfather – who has over seven UK number ones and 37 top 10 singles to his name. It may be one of the most recognisable Christmas singles, but Five are convinced a rap by their very own Abz Love should be included - but will the other bands agree? Only one star can be given the honour of singing the iconic final line – but who has the voice and nerve to take on such a vocal? And much has changed since they were last recording pop stars – Kerry Katona of Atomic Kitten and Michelle Heaton of Liberty X are both pregnant and Michelle has to take time out from the recording studio to go for a scan that will reveal the sex of her baby. * Text Santa is ITV's annual charity fundraiser and this year is raising money for six UK based charities – Age UK, Barnardo's, BeatBullying, the British Heart Foundation, CLIC Sargent and Help the Hospices. Each band gets to see the incredible work undertaken by each of these charities – and in some cases are asked to help out. Five are forced to learn a totally different type of dance routine when they are guests of honour at an Age UK Tea Dance. While the girls from B*Witched and guys of 911 battle it out through the muddiest, wettest obstacle courses in support of the British Heart Foundation. In Wakefield, Atomic Kitten help Barnardo’s host a children’s Christmas party for young families who would otherwise struggle to afford any kind of festive cheer. A visitor to the studio is 21-year-old Ellie who is given a tour of the studio by the Honeyz after she tells them of her harrowing experiences of cyber bullying – and the support she received from BeatBullying. Blue make a surprise visit to Amanda – a fan who is a patient at Teesside Hospice, a member of Help the Hospices. Amanda is invited for a VIP visit to one of their arena concerts. In the studio, Michelle Heaton and Lee Brennan receive a very special visitor when 11-year-old Alayna arrives to tell them how invaluable CLIC Sargent were while she was undergoing treatment for cancer. This plucky girl has a profound effect on the two singers – reminding Lee of a similar experience as a child. * For all the bands, the chance to see how Text Santa funding helps these charities puts the entire recording experience in perspective."@en }
