UK Christmas Number One announced - Bookies hammered

Christmas Number One: Can Gareth Produce Magic In 2012!

Bookmakers William Hill are today paying out a small fortune after Gareth Malone & the Military Wives delivered the Christmas number one. Hills originally offered at 9/1 that the ‘Wherever You Are’ would deliver the Xmas one which by the 24th had been backed all the way into 1/100! Hills have been so impressed by Gareth that he has been installed as the 6/1 second favourite to deliver the Christmas number one in 2012, with the X Factor winner 1/2 favourite.

“Gareth and his many wives have cost us a small fortune in what has been one of the most enthralling battles for the converted Christmas number one spot. The Industry will be paying out a six figure sum and for once we will be doing so with a smile!” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.
