Bradley couldn’t hide his excitement: “People are starved of our type of entertainment – songs, stories, jokes – and banter. It’s an homage to the Rat Pack but brought up to the modern day, and it’s a fantastic night.”

“We are just thrilled. We all share the same dressing room, we’re mates, we’ve known each other for so long now and the show is about warmth and family – because we are. It’s great, really great.”

With added sentimentality, he shared: “The show harks back to the 1950s and ’60s – the Rat Pack era of Sinatra and the gang. The four of us have been mates for over 40 years now and we have a combined age of around 250 years, so a quarter of a millennium. The only time we were on the same show was in 1993 for the Royal Variety Performance. I’ve been desperate to put something together like this for so long.”

The announcement comes after Bradley was replaced as the host of the Royal Variety Performance for the 2024 show.

This year, Britain’s Got Talent judge and comedian Alan Carr took the reins, marking the first time since 2019 that the programme featured a hosting duo.

Amanda, 53, said it was “an honour” to take on the role of co-host, adding: “This is a dream job and Alan is a true friend; we are already bursting with ideas and excitement. It’s going to be such a fun night!”

Bradley’s tour kicks off in Edinburgh on 27 April and concludes on 23 May in Southend. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 29 November.
