His popular BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds podcast Uncanny features seemingly supernatural encounters, which declared sceptic Robins looks into with the help of both paranormal and scientific experts.

The BBC Two TV series, set to run for three episodes, will feature real-life stories of supernatural encounters told by the people they happened to, as experts try to find any possible logical explanation.

Robins said: "I've been blown away by the response to Uncanny. We’ve built an incredible community around the show, many of whom never realised how interested in the paranormal they were!

"I'm incredibly excited to get the chance to both continue the podcast and adapt it for TV, as we explore that biggest of all questions - 'do ghosts exist'? I promise it will be scary and fascinating in equal measure - so, do you dare watch?"

Jack Bootle, head of commissioning for specialist factual, added: "Uncanny is a sensational podcast that has proved to be a huge hit on BBC Sounds, and it’s going to be every bit as spine-chilling when it makes the transition to BBC Two and iPlayer later this year. Watch it with the lights on."

Meanwhile, Robins' West End play 2:22 has recently welcomed a new star cast including Cheryl in her first theatre role and Jake Wood who appeared in the original 2021 cast.

Previously, the celeb-packed show has featured Laura Whitmore, Giovanna Fletcher, Mandip Gill, Matt Willis, Tom Felton, Lily Allen, James Buckley and Stephanie Beatriz.

Uncanny and Robins' other podcasts, The Battersea Poltergeist and The Witch Farm, are available to stream on BBC Sounds.
