The program goes out on Boxing Day (December 26th) at 11am on Channel and features Jake in conversation with the legendary queen of Country Music as she talks about her extraordinary life and career, and even allows him to go on an eye-popping winter wonderland walk through her camp-as-Christmas travelling wardrobe.
