This year's Channel 4 alternative Christmas message will be delivered by a deepfake of the Queen.

In the message, the deepfake will try its hand at a TikTok viral dance challenge.

The five-minute message will refer to a number of controversial topics, including the decision by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to leave the UK. It will also allude to the Duke of York's decision to step down from royal duties earlier this year after an interview he gave to the BBC about his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

While current technology does allow for voice deepfakes, the voice of this deepfake will be dubbed by British actress Debra Stephenson.

The TV star was previously the voice of a puppet of the monarch in the 2020 revival of satirical sketch show Spitting Image.

The Alternative Christmas Message will be shown on Channel 4 at 15:25 GMT on 25 December.

With risqué jokes about Harry and Meghan, the Prime Minister and even Prince Andrew it's a Christmas message that is likely to send many a Brussel sprout down the wrong way.

The result is an unsettlingly accurate impression of Her Majesty making jokes about Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, leaving Britain, and the risk of getting pregnant posed to NHS staff who treated Boris Johnson for coronavirus.
