Yes, change fees will apply. This is a textbook case of a flight change.
My best options are 251/ 255 on 20/12 then 257/ 239 on 21/12. The previous pair is still selling D fare, and the latter pair is selling I fare. I checked the award availability for several weeks and found no availability for LHR flights until 25/12, so I guess CS may not be helpful in this situation until the very last moment before departure.
