They say it gets earlier every year, but we are only just out of June, and already club singer Cilla Stephenson is fretting about Christmas. She is having the neighbours round for festive nibbles, the presents are arranged around the tree, and she just wants everything to go smoothly. Or at least as smoothly as possible, given that her teenage son, Alfie, has just appeared in a training bra and announced that he will forthwith be known as Deborah.
