We change our mind about #BandAid40 | Gymnastics, mullets, karate | The last Grace headline you'd expect

Loading player...
Presented with the evidence, we change our minds about BandAid40 - that's the power of Christmas...and George Michael appearing on screen with Robbie Williams.

We hate all versions of Last Christmas except the original, but Paulo found one that made his palms sweaty.

Dori finds 80s Steve Buscemi sexy, Paulo wishes gymnasts wore undies and after watching Sigourney Weaver in Ghostbusters Noël did his best impression of an exploding Stay Puft man...white, sticky stuff etc etc.

Plus, we link Grace Jones to the most unlikely place on earth. Dolph Lundgren's nipples quiver with delight.
