John Whaite reveals touching Christmas gesture
However, John has since revealed plans to include his followers in on the festive day.
Taking to social media yesterday (December 22), the star shared his touching gesture with fans.
He announced: “Hi everyone. While I know the main focus at Christmas time is on family and friends, I appreciate that many of you will be alone this Christmas – whether that’s down to COVID or some other reason out of your control – so I’d like to offer a little slice of solace.
Drop in and out as you wish
“At 11am on Christmas Day morning I’ll do an Instagram live as I walk around a loch here in Scotland.
“We can have a little chat and soak in the scenery.”
In addition, John added: “It’s just a little something I’d like to do to offer some support to those who need it most.

Speaking to OK!, John shared: “We’ve booked a cabin in the middle of Scotland in a national park. It’s just us and our dog. We’re not going to see any family or friends.
“With Strictly being so manic, we haven’t seen much of each other, so we’ve decided this Christmas we’re going to dedicate to each other.”
He continued: “We’ll see our families before we go, but then we’ll have no phone signal or Wi-Fi.”
