Darcey Bussell will front a new factual series for More4 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s historic Platinum Jubilee, retracing the monarch\u2019s footsteps on a mission to discover what she loves most about Britain.<\/p>\n

The four-part series, titled Darcey Bussell\u2019s Royal Road Trip, will air later this year, and see the lauded dancer travel from the highlands of Scotland down to London and from the Norfolk broads to the Welsh Borders.<\/p>\n

In each location, she will indulge in some of the Queen\u2019s favourite leisure activities \u2013 including hiking, horse race spectating and sampling local cuisine \u2013 as well as meeting unexpected people and places who have been touched by her reign.<\/p>\n

Last year, the retired ballerina presented another travel docuseries titled Darcey Bussell\u2019s Wild Coasts of Scotland, which also aired on More4 and went down well with viewers.<\/p>

She said: \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be making another series for More4, especially one in which I get to follow in the footsteps of Her Majesty. I\u2019ve always had a deep and abiding affection for the Queen, so I\u2019m particularly looking forward to embarking on this celebratory road trip.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bussell has a long-standing relationship with Her Majesty, having performed for her on several occasions and been made a Dame in 2018 for services to dance.<\/p>\n
