Revealing insights from their time on the show, actor and choreographer Wayne Sleep will be joined by actor Paul Nicholas, singer Shelia Ferguson, former Darts player Bobby George and TV chef Rosemary Shrager.

The Real Marigold Hotel featured famous senior citizens trying out retirement in India and other countries around the world. The show takes its name from the film The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel starring Judi Dench, Bill Nighy and Maggie Smith.
