When corrected and pressed for an answer by Ms Etchingham, he added: “We don’t watch television very much on Christmas Day.
“There is lots… Lots to do… I enjoy the presence of my family and friends around Christmas.
“Obviously, like everybody else does, and, I also visit the homeless shelter, either on Christmas Day, or the day before, to talk to, and listen to people’s lives, about how they could be made better with a government that cared for them.”
Mr Corbyn also said he would give up Chequers – the Prime Minister’s country home – if he was elected.
He said: “It can’t be right, we’re a country with 150 billionaires, and we’ve still got people sleeping on the streets.”
The Labour leader apologised to those who have suffered as a result of his party’s delays in dealing with allegations of anti-semitism.
Mr Corbyn said: “Anti-semitism is a vile evil, in our society.
“I am not a racist, in any form, I’ve spent my life opposing racism and I think the treatment of Jewish people that suffer from anti-semitism is appalling.
“And where there’s been delays, by my party, in instituting a process of course, I apologise to those that suffered, as a result of it.”
