The Gavin and Stacey finale attracted an average of 12.3 million TV viewers - the largest Christmas Day audience in more than a decade, overnight data shows.

The new Wallace and Gromit film also attracted a large audience, with more than 9 million viewers tuning in to watch the latest instalment.

Nearly 6 million people watched the King's Christmas message on the BBC and ITV.

All figures are based on "overnight" TV ratings - which do not include viewers who watch Christmas specials on catch-up services during the rest of the festive period.
