But before all the Christmas joy, it seems Ben has the Panesar brothers and Martin to deal with.

Max said: “The Panesars have come in now, so that drama is definitely going to unfold.

“They’re brave, they’re boisterous, they’re going to give Ben a run for his money.”

He continued: “With Ben, it’s a hundred miles per hour all the time. At the moment, things are taking off again, things are nice with Ballum.
