Guests could certainly add in a bit and the fact it started at 11.57 will help as you say - but I bet it will come out at 12.6-12.8m tops.”
Youre going to be very pleasantly surprised next Wednesday when ronant/TVRatingsUK announces that the New Years Fireworks was officially the most watched program of 2013

.
The 12.6-12.8m youre expecting would put it 1m lower than the overnight rating. The official ratings of the last few years have never been as much as 1m down from the overnights. Last year it was 0.7m, the year before it was only 0.2m. It will beat IAC's 13.05m Robbie, mark my words.
