Courtney Act has certainly made her mark on UK TV screens in 2018 after winning Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year (and not just because of that infamous skirt-falling moment).

Having gone on to host E! Online’s The Bi Life (and announce her bid for Eurovision 2019), the Australian star is now getting her own Christmas special too.

Courtney Act’s Christmas Extravaganza should ease you nicely into Christmas Day with a host of guest stars, drag queens and flamboyant song and dance routines.

But what time should you tune in?

Well you’ll have to stay up late for this one, as Courtney Act’s Christmas Extravaganza airs on Channel 4 at 11.05pm.



The hour-long show is followed by five classic episodes of The Inbetweeners, kicking off from 12.05am.

Courtney will be joined on the show by guests including Leona Lewis, Little Mix and Zara Larsson – as well as Paralympian Jonnie Peacock who’ll be getting a full drag makeover.

You can also expect to see some of the stars of RuPaul’s Drag Race – as Adore Delano, Bianca del Rio and Darienne Lake join Courtney at the piano for a Golden Girls-inspired performance.

Speaking to Digital Spy about the show, Courtney revealed what we can expect, saying: ‘We lull the UK family audience who are sitting at home on Christmas Eve just enjoying a camp bit of entertainment, but in the very traditional Christmas aesthetic.

‘But then we sort of take them on a journey and end with rainbows and rainbow confetti.’
