X FACTOR winner and pop heart throb Shayne Ward will be switching on the lights of Britain’s biggest Christmas tree on Friday, November 14 at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet.

The festivities will start at 5.30pm with entertainment from X Factor contestants Scott Bruton, Laura White and Ben Mills before Shayne takes to the stage at 6pm to perform a selection of songs and officially switch on the Christmas lights at 6.30pm.

The tree, which stands 90 feet tall, will be decorated with 100,000 lights and 80,000 baubles.

Colin Wilding, general manager of Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet, said: “The launch night is going to be spectacular and we’re expecting big crowds to be here.

“The tree is a huge, dazzling structure that is guaranteed to get shoppers in the Christmas mood and with Shayne there to entertain the crowds it’ll be a great way to kick off the count down to Christmas.”
