Tony Mortimer: 'Michael Jackson delayed Earth Song because of East 17'
Tony Mortimer says if he'd had any idea just how successful East 17's Christmas hit Stay Another Day would be, he might never have written it.

The song beat Mariah Carey 's All I Want For Christmas to the UK top spot, and Mortimer says she wasn't the only star to make way for East 17.
