Now a popular motorcycling racing commentator, Parrish, 58, said: "When Keith invited me to be a guest on his chat show, I checked my diary and found it's the week before I start on my celebrity cruise around the Canaries!

"I had no hesitation in accepting his invitation.

"Nineteen-time Isle Of Man TT winner John McGuinness had told me what a great night he had at Immingham last year, so I'm looking forward to having a good laugh with Tommy, Reg and Keith.

"It will be a good warm-up for me before my cruise the following week!"

Fellow guest Hill won the British Superbike Championship in 2011.

He has been a fierce competitor against riders from Louth-based team Samsung Honda, and has shown excellent form at Lincolnshire's Cadwell Park circuit.

He bagged two victories at Cadwell in last year's BSB championship.

In 2011, he claimed two victories and a second place from the triple-header at Cadwell.

Marshall is a 12-time British champion – another popular guest at Martin's shows.

Tickets for the event, which is likely to sell out, are £20 per person.
