The Lewisham and Greenwich choir said they were “absolutely overwhelmed” that their song, A Bridge Over You, had pipped Bieber’s track, Love Yourself.

Instead, the NHS Choir’s mash-up of Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water and Coldplay’s Fix You emerged as the popular favourite in the run-up to Christmas. Let’s do the right thing & help them win.

Their main intention was to raise as much money as possible for health charities including Carers UK and Mind – and to highlight their healthcare colleagues’ sterling work.

Physiotherapist Caroline Harbord, 50, who is part of the choir, had previously said that securing a number one would help raise morale in the NHS.

They continued: “A massive cheer for the NHS, thank you!”

Meanwhile, Adele’s album 25 remains top of the album chart for the fifth week running.

‘There couldn’t be a more deserving group of winners’.

Nerva said: “We think the NHS needs the Xmas number one more than Justin Bieber”.
