Now that the Late Late Toy Show's over, it's time to shamelessly fill the void by watching tonnes of Christmas films.

And first on our list this weekend is Love Actually.

One of the most memorable moments from the Richard Curtis Christmas classic has to be little Joanna's rendition of All I Want For Christmas Is You, and we cannot get over how much she has grown up.

The film was released 12 years ago, after all, but even so, we were totally taken aback when we saw this.

Just look at the 23-year-old now…

Since starring in the festive rom-com, Olivia has had a few acting and singing roles, but she is mainly known for her voiceover work.

The actress voices Vanessa Doofenshmirtz on the Disney Channel comedy Phineas and Ferb, and is also the actress behind Marceline the Vampire Queen on Adventure Time.

In a cute coincidence (or fate trying to tell her something?), one of Olivia's Phineas and Ferb co-stars is Thomas Sangster, who of course played her smitten admirer in Love Actually.

Unlike Olivia, Thomas still looks as baby-faced as he did back in 2003, though we're sure he hates hearing that.

In fact, the youthful actor still has trouble getting served down the pub.

On a recent trip to Canada, he resorted to desperate measures when he was refused service at a bar and had no ID on him.

"For the first time in my life I got out my phone and looked myself up on IMDb," he told The Guardian back in April. "They laughed and even got me to sign my autograph. But they wouldn’t serve me that pint."

We'd probably do the same if that was our bar, to be fair…

It's getting closer and closer to Christmas which means we FINALLY have an excuse to break out our favourite soppy Christmas films with absolutely no judgement. 

Hurrah!

Love Actually may only be a couple of years old but we already consider it to be one of the most heart-warming and classic Christmas films that there is. 

And just when we though we couldn't love it anymore, someone went and found these heartbreaking deleted scenes. 

At just under three minutes, the story line features the headmistress of the school featured in the film coming home from work to look after her ailing partner.

British actress Anne Reid plays the headmistress of the school in which the film’s climactic talent show takes place and Frances de la Tour plays her terminally ill partner.

Let's just say this story line does not have a happy ending. 

Considering that without these precious and brief scenes there are only heterosexual couples (and one bromance) featured in the film, we think this pairing might have helped to broaden the film's emotional reach.

Having said that, the film is pretty emotional as is and we may not have been able to cope. 

Watch the scenes here.

When you watch the same films over and over every Christmas, it's easy to forget how much time has passed since they were released.

Take Love Actually, for example. It seems like a fairly 'modern' film right? Except for the lack of iPhones, obvz. But in reality, it's actually a whopping 12 years old, and we got a bit of a shock today when we realised that Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who played the adorably lovestruck Sam, is no longer a pre-teen.

Thomas, who is now 25 (yes, TWENTY FIVE YEARS OLD), appeared at Comic Con in San Diego recently, and we have to say that despite the years passing, Thomas is every bit as baby-faced as he was back in the early Noughties.

He probably hates hearing this, but he hasn't changed all that much 12 years on. In fact, the youthful actor still has trouble getting served down the pub. On a recent trip to Canada, he says he resorted to desperate measures when he was refused service at a bar and had no ID on him.

"For the first time in my life I got out my phone and looked myself up on IMDb," he told The Guardian back in April. "They laughed and even got me to sign my autograph. But they wouldn’t serve me that pint.”

Since starring as Liam Neeson's son in Love Actually, Thomas has had a pretty stellar acting career, with roles in Game of Thrones, Maze Runner, BBC's Wolf Hall adaptation and even a voice role in Phineas and Ferb.

A huge congratulations to Gavin & Stacey actress Joanna Page who has welcomed her second child.

The actress announced the exciting news that her baby boy was born on April 1st and she also revealed the name they have chosen for their new arrival: “So happy! Kit James our baby boy was born yesterday at 4: 14pm weighing 8lbs! He’s beautiful!"

Hmm, we wonder if Joanna and her husband have been somewhat inspired by Game Of Thrones actor, Kit Harrington? He is John Snow after all…

Joanna, who also starred in our favourite movie, Love Actually is already a mum to a little girl named Eva with her husband James Thornton.

James also expressed his happiness at the birth of their son, acknowledging the trickster date of his birth: “Got the best April Fool ever yesterday! Our baby boy Kit James arrived into the world! He’s a big lad, 8lb. Mum and baby both fine.”

Such lovely news, congratulations to the family.
