A spokesman for the lifeboat charity, which works to keep the Fylde coast safe year-round, said the opera star was “filming for a documentary to be shown early November.”

Alfie, 44, has made several trips home in recent months. In June, he performed his Homecoming concert at Fleetwood Town Football Club, and then, at the end of last month, he pulled the famous lever to turn on Blackpool’s Illuminations. He said at the time: ““I never thought it would be me doing the job and I’m thrilled and honoured.”
