The Black Eyed Peas celebrated the bands successes in a one-off special on ITV hosted by Joanna Lumley, and many viewers are concerned their Christmas tipples have struck already.

Lumley charted the bands successes on 20 Years Of The Black Eyed Peas in a live studio, featuring performances and interviews with members Will.i.am, Taboo and apl.de.ap.

The band performed a number of hits including Lets Get It Started, Pump It and new song Big Love with The Scripts Danny ODonoghue.

Many viewers, however, couldnt get over the fact British icon Joanna Lumley was guided us through the bands hip hop journey.

Maybe ITV are taking pitches for new shows?

Joanna Lumley presenting 20 years of the Black Eyed Peas is like Ann Widdecombe presenting the history of the Wu Tang Clan.

Speaking about the experience, Joanna said: Hes become a bit of a hero to me, a Rennaissance man for our time.

Hes beautiful, stylish, big-time – and yet look at the stuff hes doing, helping pay for neighbourhood kids to go to college. And hes sweet as pie.
