The star said: "I'm really looking forward to heading to Blenheim Palace next summer. The UK crowds are some of the best in the world and I can't wait to get back over there to see you all!"

He will bring his dazzling live show to the 10,000-capacity Great Court at Blenheim Palace on Wednesday, 14 June for what will be his first trip to the UK since 2019. More names for next year’s series will be announced in due course.
