She’ll be exploring even more beautiful parts of the country as well as recalling the childhood journeys and fond experiences of her own family holidays.

Susan Calman said: "Almost every day someone asks me when my campervan Helen Mirren will be off on another trip, and it’s wonderful to finally announce that we’re back on the road for even more adventures!...

"I know we’ll discover brilliant people and fabulous places along the way, and I can’t wait to get started. The reaction from the audience to the last series was unbelievably warm and positive, and it’ll be a privilege to keep that journey going! A Grand Day Out indeed."
