Time to rock on Santa!<\/h3>\n

Comedians Cannon and Ball are right on target for Christmas – at the top of the tree.<\/p>\n

Tonight they round off their most successful year in showbusiness with their own 45-minute show, Cannon and Ball For Christmas (ITV, 6pm). With two successful series behind them, no wonder they are all smiles.<\/p>\n

It has taken them 11 years to get where they are today.<\/p>\n

Now everywhere they go Tommy Cannon, 40, and Bobby Ball, 35, are greeted by their catchphrase, “Rock on Tommy” – and they love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
