Kevin Lygo, managing director of media and entertainment at the broadcaster, confirmed the programmes would air on December 25 during an online presentation about the Christmas television schedule for this year.
“In a festive first, we will be showing one-off specials of our hit daytime shows on Christmas day itself,” he said.

A “special Christmas helping” of cooking programmes featuring James Martin and Ainsley Harriott will also be broadcast, Mr Lygo added.
James Martin’s Christmas Day and Ainsley’s Festive Food will both be shown.
The BBC is yet to confirm what it's Christmas Day schedule will look like.
This week however viewers can tune into Children In Need, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
