The tour, which is coming to the Churchill Theatre in Bromley, has been extended from its sell-out run last year.

The show includes anecdotes from the TV host’s personal book collection, covering outrageous titles such as The Beginner's Guide to Sex in the Afterlife and Cheese Problems Solved.

Fans will also get a chance to pose their own questions to Sandi, who has penned more than 20 books herself, in the Q&A portion of the evening.

The Danish-born presenter, best known for fronting shows such as The Great British Bake Off and QI, will also throw her very own gameshow, Cleverest Person in the Room, on stage with plenty of audience participation.

The show is named after Sandi’s latest best-selling novel, Friends of Dorothy, which follows a married couple, Amber and Stevie, as they discover their chosen family.
