Partridge debuted in 1991 on the BBC Radio 4 programme On The Hour and has since then become one of the UK’s most enduring satirical characters, known as a tactless and arrogant broadcaster.

Partridge added: "I'm delighted to follow the Daily Mail's exclusive coverage of filming and their gallery of paparazzi-style images with my own press release more or less confirming the details they've announced. All best, Alan."
