ITV reveals first peek at Christmas schedule as Kate Middleton hosts festive special
ITV has unveiled the first big show of its Christmas schedule - a festive service hosted by Kate Middleton.
The special carol concert, attended by members of the Royal Family, will air on Christmas Eve.
The service - filmed at Westminster Abbey - will also pay tribute to the late Queen.
ITV said: "The Princess of Wales will return to Westminster Abbey to host a special Christmas carol service on Thursday 15th December to recognise the selfless efforts of individuals, families and communities across the UK, and highlight the remarkable impact that coming together to support others can have for us all."
The Princess of Wales also appeared in a similar programme that aired days before Christmas on ITV last year.
She memorably played the piano alongside performances from Leona Lewis and Tom Walker.
