BLUE Planet has announced BBC presenter Anita Rani will host its Take a Deep Breath arena tour.

The 13-date UK tour includes a show at Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on Wednesday March 26, 2019.

The show promises to allow audiences to share and discover a whole new world hidden beneath the surface of the sea in an epic live audio-visual experience.

Rani is a household name as one of the presenters of the BBC One series Countryfile, and regularly appears in and presents the BBC’s One Show.

She said: “The TV series was such a fantastic and enlightening show and has really empowered society to view our oceans and environment with a great deal more care.

“I can’t wait to stand on stage with an 80-piece orchestra and huge screen showing some of that incredible Blue Planet II footage, it should be an amazing experience.”

Tickets are available online, from the booking hotline number 0844 493 6666 or in person from the Metro Radio Arena Box Office. Booking fees will apply.
