Last updated 10th Dec 2020
The multi-talented Ella Henderson joined us exclusively on Hits Radio earlier this month, where she wowed us with her amazing cover of Wham!'s 'Last Christmas'.
Totally getting us in the Christmas spirit, Ella's performance of the festive throwback sees the singer also playing the piano. Not only that, Ella also performed her current song 'Dream On Me' exclusively for us and her vocals are amazing.
Take a look at Ella Henderson's fantastic performance below:
Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' was a big hit when it was released in 1984, reaching Number 2 after being kept off the top spot by Band Aid's, 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'. Since then, the song has been covered many times by various artists, including Whigfield, Ashley Tisdale an Ariana Grande.
Fleur East, James and Producer Matt also caught up with Ella to talk about her Christmas traditions when she revealed that she still has to check the whole house to see if Santa's been!
"Obviously, I'm back at my parents on Christmas Day every year, and I have to do the whole check, still running in my parents' room, still dive on my brother," she explained.
"I'm the youngest, so I've always been the one that used to get the most excited, so I still feel like I have to keep that up to get everyone in that Christmas spirit."
Sounds like a fun day in the Henderson household!
