Ceremony at London's O2 in May

 Jack Whitehall is to host this year’s Brits Award for the fourth successive time.

Organisers of the music industry bash made the announcement ahead of this year’s nominees next Wednesday.

The comedian said: ‘I must be doing something right to be invited back to host the Brits! After the events of the past year, I think we can all do with a big night of music and entertainment, and I'm excited to be part of the show on May 11.’

The ceremony will take place at the O2 Arena in London, later in the year than normal because of coronavirus.

Brit producers say: ‘ His trademark opening skits and hilarious table-side manner with artists has resulted in widespread praise from both the media and the millions of fans watching from home, so it's only right we invited him back to take us through what will be an incredible celebration of the very best British and international music talent of the last 18 months.
