The 'Doctor Who' Christmas special will feature opera star Katherine Jenkins singing a love song in a futuristic take on Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'.
It will be the first time in the BBC sci-fi show's 47-year history that a musical performance will be integrated into a storyline.
Welsh singer Katherine, 30, is to perform the track specially-written by Murray Gold - who pens all the music for the show - for the December special which producers have promised will be a "real treat".
A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "It's going to be an amazing surprise. We have never had anyone burst into song on 'Doctor Who'. It's a TV first for us. This will send ratings sky high."

I must be counting different things. This is the THIRD time a musical performance is included with the storyline. SEE: The Gunfighters (April 30–May 21, 1966)notable for being the first Doctor Who episodes to contain musical narration, sung by Lynda Baron, in the form of the "Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon".
SEE: The notion of commissioning original songs for Doctor Who would resume when the series was revived in 2005, beginning with "Song for Ten" in The Christmas Invasion .
