'Blowers' will be recalling his days as a young England hopeful, mentioning how an Eton bus knocked him off his bike and how he made a cricket journalist.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the 82-year-old managed to spend more time with loved ones, reconnect with his Norfolk roots and reflect on his extraordinary life.

In this short space of time, the 82-year-old wrote two books, recorded a daily vodcast for last year's tests and made a 90-minute film for streaming called, 'At Home With Henry.'

Mr Blofeld said: "I can't tell you how excited I am to be getting back onto the stage after nearly three years.

"It will be a lively mixture of making the Real Marigold Hotel and almost 50 years with Test Match Special.

"We'll have huge fun and I can't wait to see you all there."
