SE understands that Tyler will return home on Thursday morning.

Earlier this week, he confessed on his Instagram story: “I still need to pack good night Monday.”

This morning the radio presenter shared a video of his “fresh trim” in a car, and he zoomed the camera in on the road sign to Gatwick airport.

Tyler captioned the post: “1 day to go,” with a love heart and crying face emoji.

Showing commitment to his BBC dancing stint, he said: “I think I’ve put my body through the paces and then I thought, Lewis, my brother, I’m the best man for his wedding, so I’m flying to Mauritius for, I think, about nine hours.”

The star added: “So, yeah, I kept the schedule light this year!”

Tyler was also making reference to his London Marathon efforts, after being supported through the iconic race by Aussie Dianne.

Talking of his recovery, he added: “I don’t have the methods or the strategy to it, I just did it.

“I just firmed it, absolutely woke up and firmed it.

“My body has been a bit of a slow one this week, I’ve obviously had to have time to recover and just be smart with how we’re training and stuff.

“But I’ll tell you what – once-in-a-lifetime experience, just a crazy weekend.”
