In the video posted to Instagram, Paul said: “Hello everyone. You’ll have to excuse me lying in bed, but I’m not long back from Thailand and my body clock’s all over the gaffe.

“Anyway, in case you’re interested, I just want to tell you that tomorrow, that’s Christmas Day, I’m on Boom Radio between the hours of 12 noon and 2 pm and I’m joined by my producer, Mr Malcolm Prince.

“And if you want to know how to get Boom, if you’ve got a dab radio, then you’ve already got it.

“If you haven’t, you can ask Alexis. Or that other thing, what’s it called? Sirius? Cyrus? That’s the Google one.

“Or if you’ve got a phone or a tablet, then you can download the app Boom radio UK.

“So please join me tomorrow because, otherwise, I’ll just be talking to Malcolm.

Paul O’Grady’s plans for Christmas

The beloved presenter said his Christmas this year would be a “bit rushed because I’ll have just got back from filming”.

He added: “It’s nice because I’m not doing panto this year. So there’s none of that arriving home late on Christmas Eve from the theatre and then getting up at the crack of dawn on Boxing Day to travel for the matinee when I’m so tired I’m destroyed.

“So it’s nice to have a year off that.”

Paul also revealed that he “always cooks for everyone”.

He stated: “As long as I don’t get the stirrers and pickers, as I call them, the people who come in and put a spoon in a pan and just stir it.

“So, this year, I’m cooking for seven people, plus nine dogs, six alpacas, the pigs, the goats, chickens, owls and sheep. We’ve got the lot here. Bring it on!”
