The video for the Only Way Is Essex cast's cover of Wham's 'Last Christmas' has premiered online.
The song, which will raise money for ITV charity initiative Text SANTA, will be officially released on December 18 in order to compete for the Christmas number one slot. Proceeds from the single will support nine social care, health and children's charities.
The video mixes clips from the ITV2 structured reality show with footage of the band recording the track in the studio.
The song has been given odds of 6/1 to top the Christmas chart, with the X Factor winner's single the favourite at odds of 3/1.
The single's B-side is a cover of Yazz and the Plastic Population's 1988 hit 'The Only Way Is Up', which serves as the theme tune for The Only Way Is Essex.
Cast member James 'Arg' Argent recently claimed that their version of 'Last Christmas' would entertain George Michael as he recovers from a bout of pneumonia in a Vienna hospital, saying that the former Wham singer would "either love or hate" their take on his famous Christmas song.
