Jessica Cunningham, former candidate in the Apprentice, making the case, to hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, for UK primary schools to ditch the traditional nativity in favour of a more modern and diverse play, the latter after a survey revealed that only 37% of schools will be performing a traditional nativity play, and as reported by UK Yahoo news on December 11. 2018.

I think we're living in a very diverse country now, and if you look at the nativity, traditionally, it was Mary and Joseph, whereas every time I go to a Nativity play it's a loose story. I think it is time to modernise it a little bit and bring a bit of diversity. Why would people not want Elvis and Lobsters instead of Jesus? Come to think of it, when you go to watch the nativity you go and watch them perform.
