Moderator Chris Tall (31) welcomes the singles in the Christmas-decorated studio with Christmas trees and a mulled wine booth. “The charming gentleman behind the mulled wine stand plays a very special role in this show, just as the clips and studio actions are inspired by Christmas,” says the announcement.
