British singer JAMES BLUNT can sit back and relax this Christmas - because his father will be doing the singing.The YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL hitmaker, 28, loves to make his father CHARLIE BLOUNT sing as his voice is so terrible it entertains the whole family.

He says, “I still believe in Father Christmas. He always takes a bite out of the mince pie that we leave in the fireplace, and leaves tracks around the house.

“Having just toured the States, I am planning to take a break from the singing this weekend, but I will force my father to sing THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS for our amusement, because he is such a bad singer.

“We are all going to my sister’s house in Sussex (south England), and will eat lots and drink even more. By the evening we shall all have passed out on the sofa.”
