In Pictures: Girls Aloud Christmas Special

Having announced a sell-out tour, topped the singles chart with 'The Promise' and scored a number one album, it's been a fairly mammoth year in the Girls Aloud camp. Now, to cap it all off, they've landed their very own Christmas special.

At the end of last month the group filmed The Girls Aloud Party, airing tonight at 8.40pm on ITV1. Featuring performances, interviews with their celebrity friends and a few surprise collaborations, here's a sneak peak of what we've got to look forward to.
