The top chores Brits are lumbered with on Christmas Day include doing the washing up, gathering up and disposing of all the wrapping paper – and cooking the meal itself, a study has found.

And with many Brits set to spend over three hours in the kitchen on December 25, they will miss out on key festive moments such as gift-opening, and the Royal broadcast.
