BBC Breakfast fans have been floored by a 'disappointing' reveal about a beloved Christmas song. Fridays programme saw Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt discuss the 40th anniversary of hit Christmas film, The Snowman.

The film featured the classic song Walking in the Air, and the presenters spoke to the man who first recorded it. But many BBC Breakfast viewers were shocked to discover it wasn't Aled Jones who was being interviewed, but actually Peter Auty.

Peter performed the song as a 13-year-old choirboy at St Paul's Cathedral before the song was later recorded by Aled, now 51.

Peter, who is now regarded as one of Britain's leading tenors, said: "It's always a bit shocking every year to be in the shopping mall and wonder whether that's me or Aled singing."

"Give us the definitive who did what and why are we confused?" Peter replied: "I'm a very good pub quiz question actually, but I think Aled was asked to sing in an advert for Toys 'R' Us a long time ago. "And I think everyone had assumed that my voice had broken by that time, or there was some communication between me and my boarding house master at the time.
