The 1975, Rudimental, James Arthur, Ellie Goulding, Chase & Status and more have all been confirmed to perform on the festive Christmas and New Year specials of Top Of The Pops.

For reasons unknown, Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates have once again been chosen to host the two hour-long specials. Bah, humbug.

The Christmas Day edition will feature performances from John Newman, One Republic, Ellie Goulding, Tom Odell, Jessie J, Chase & Status feat Moko, Rizzle Kicks, Rudimental, James Blunt, Naughty Boy feat Sam Smith, The Saturdays and your mum's favourites, Boyzone. It will be screened at 2pm. 

James Blunt and One Republic? God bless us, everyone. 

Then to help you drink away any lasting memories of 2013, Top of the Pops New Year will be shown at 5.30pm on New Year's Eve with performances from Little Mix, The 1975, The Vamps, Tinie Tempah feat John Martin, James Arthur, Ellie Goulding, Jessie J, John Newman, Chase & Status feat Jacob Banks and London Grammar.

Host Reggie Yates said: "Rather like Christmas dinner, falling asleep in front of the telly and celebrating with family, hosting Top of the Pops is fast becoming a yearly tradition for me and one I look forward to every year. With a great line up of acts this year's shows promise to be as epic as ever."
