Chart return for charitable Aled

FORMER Welsh child star Aled Jones has made an unlikely appearance in the singles charts, 23 years after his Walking in the Air reached the number five spot.

The Anglesey-born singer's Christmas collaboration with Sir Terry Wogan was the highest new entry in the UK singles chart last night as the race for the Christmas No 1 began in ernest.

The duo reached number three with their version of the Bing Crosby and David Bowie hit Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth, which is in aid of Children in Need.

It is the 38-year-old's first appearance in the singles chart after he made it to number five with Walking in the Air in 1985, aged just 15.

Aled said: "Terry and I recorded it at the Abbey Road studios and couldn't stop laughing, as there was something so surreal about the whole thing."
