Comic back at the O2 for a second year

Mo Gilligan is to host the Brit Awards for the second year running.

The comic will return to The O2 arena in London  on  Saturday February 11 for the ceremony, which will be broadcast live on ITV1.

He said: ‘Hosting the Brits last year was one of the most phenomenal moments of my life. I’ve been so honoured to get to know the incredible team behind the biggest night in music and so proud to bring our amazing audiences even closer to their favourite artists. I promise you, we’re going to go even bigger this year… Let's go!"

2023 Brit Awards chair Damian Christian added: ‘Making sure we got Mo back to host this year’s awards was a huge priority for us. He is one of the biggest names in UK entertainment right now and he did an amazing job hosting his first Brits last year.

‘We’re looking forward to working with him and watching as he brings his unique humour and style to our stage and screens once again.’

Gilligan – a judge on ITV1’s The Masked Singer – has also just started hosting the UK version of Jimmy Fallon’s That’s My Jam for Saturday-night BBC One.

Nominations for the 2023 Brit Awards will be announced on Thursday from 4pm.
