Elsewhere, Fielding hosts The Great British Bake Off alongside Allison Hammond, who lst year took over from Matt Lucas. Fielding recently opened up about the difficulty of collaborating with Lucas.
"With Matt it was a bit weird, because we’re mates and are probably the same low-status person from our respective double acts, where he has [David] Walliams and I have Julian [Barratt]," he said.
"It was more difficult to find how we worked together, but we managed to find a way."
The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin will premiere globally on March 1 with the first two episodes, followed by a new episode every Friday through March 29.
