Alan, 75, has teamed up with composer Debbie Wiseman to recreate the story of Jack Frost.

While Alan has penned the novel, Cerys Matthews and her son Red Abbot-Matthews perform two Christmas carols.

But for Alan the new project often proved to be highly emotional, leaving him in floods of tears.

Appearing on BBC Breakfast to promote the book, he explained: “In that shot there [watching Cerys and her son perform the carol] I was struggling to hold it together.

“I was a bit proprietorial really.

“They were singing their carol and I was standing at the back thinking, ‘I don’t believe I had any hand in this at all’.”

Composer Debbie, who was sitting beside Alan on the red sofa, also spoke about his tears.

She said: “When he gets behind the microphone and he’s reading, he’s just professional and he just does it and he’s just so brilliant when I’m conducting the music.

“But get him in the studio and there’s tears everywhere.”

Dad-of-two Alan continued: “If it doesn’t affect you as a writer when it’s done with the music then how are you supposed to expect it with an audience.

“And if it affects me as a parent and a grandparent, it’ll affect every other mum, dad, granny and grandpa not only with just the carol but the whole Jack Frost thing about magic of it. And gosh, we need a bit of magic today this Christmas.”

Hosts Ant and Dec told viewers that Maura and Richard will join and live at a separate camp and go on a secret mission.

And during last night’s I’m A Celeb Unpacked host Sam Thompson confessed that he thinks that the Irish beauty is really going to struggle.

Ahead of her stint on the show, Maura recorded a video for fans to watch.

While on the plane, Maura said: “I’m landing in Australia!

“When I land my chaperone is taking my phone off me, so this is goodbye!

“My manger is going to be looking after my social media while I am in hell.

“She’s going to ruin my life on my Instagram.”

Maura is best known for her stint on Love Island back in 2019.

She entered the villa on day 10 and placed fourth alongside ex Curtis Pritchard.

Earlier today her manager posed a clip of her entering the villa edited with a clip from the jungle.

They wrote: “Once a bombshell, always a bombshell #imaceleb @imacelebrity.”

Meanwhile Maura confessed: “I feel like it’s a bit scarier going in later because everybody has met.

“I’m a clean freak, I’m not afraid to say how I feel I’m probably annoying to live with.

“The eating trial, that’s the worst for me. Eyeballs, that’s vile.

“I don’t want to eat testicles on TV.

“I just really hope a braver Maura walks out than walks in.”

Despite that, the reality star is really excited for her jungle stint.

Ahead of her time on the show, Maura said: “It will be nice to strip back.

“I love my fake tan but I am excited to be without it.

“My skin is going to be flawless.

“It really is a detox and I am excited to have a phone detox too.”

With many interested to know what’s going on with Strictly’s Pete Wicks, the beauty confirmed she is not dating anyone.

Maura confessed: “I am single at the moment, but honestly no-one is going to fancy me in the jungle… Trust me!”

As things stand he is yet to agree terms for a new contract.

And he could be given food for thought regarding his next club, with Turkish giants Fenerbahce known to be interested.

According to reports in Turkey, Fenerbahce boss Mourinho has already contacted the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

He allegedly asked: “Are you happy there? There is talk that you want to leave.

“If you leave, would you like to come to Fenerbahce?”

Director of football Mario Branco has allegedly opened talks with Ronaldo and his agent, Jorge Mendes.

It currently seems unlikely the move will happen, but Fenerbahce supporters remain hopeful.

Ronaldo first joined Al-Nassr in January 2023 after terminating his Manchester United contract.

The 39-year-old has since scored 68 goals and provided 18 assists in 79 appearances.

Earlier this month, he was tipped to join Al-Nassr’s Saudi Pro League rivals Al-Hilal.

Jorge Jesus reportedly wants to sign him to replace Neymar, who has been struggling with a series of injury setbacks.

The Brazilian is understood to be at risk of having his £130million contract ripped up.
