Eat your heart out Kylie Minogue, Torbay has its very own number one hit for Christmas courtesy of three young Torquay schoolgirls.

While the world-famous singer from Down Under was topping the Christmas charts with her song XMAS, the trio of songstresses were bringing yuletide joy to classmates at Lift Barton Hill primary school in Torquay with their own festive tune.

Year 6 pupils Jade, Billie-Mae and Violet even made a Christmas video to go with their catchy number with a little help from teaching assistant Luke Andrews
