I DON’T know what was more pleasing – the NHS choir reaching No.1 in the charts or Justin Bieber urging his millions of fans to help them do it.

The superstar singer was happy to relinquish the charts’ top spot for a week to boost the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS choir’s blend of Bridge Over Trouble Waters and Fix You to create melodic Bridge Over You.

And the assortment of doctors, IT workers, nurses and other hospital staff originally brought together for a TV programme by BBC choir master Gareth Malone were happy to comply.

So festive fairytales DO come true.
