THE Brit Awards are about to get a hell of a lot funnier, as Jack Whitehall has agreed to return as host. Much to my relief, the beloved comedian is coming back for a fifth time as frontman for the ceremony, being held at London’s O2 Arena on March 1.

His last starring role was in 2021. Insiders told me he jumped at the chance to roast the star guests after his jam-packed schedule made it impossible to commit for the past few years. They said: “Jack is such a brilliant Brits host and isn’t afraid to take the p**s out of some of the world’s biggest stars.

“He has such a hectic diary that he’s been unable to take part for the past few years. “But he was available this time and said yes immediately. “It is one of his favourite gigs as he can have some real fun with the celebs.”. Harriet Rose and Munya Chawawa will get the party started ahead of the ceremony by hosting The Brits 2025: The Warm-Up on ITV2 and ITVX.

Confirming the news last night, Jack said: “They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that is absolutely the case with the Brit Awards. “It is my favourite night of the year.”. I was there the last time he hosted and found him hilarious.

In 2019, he caused a storm when a joke he made about Little Mix became the most complained about moment of the night. After the girls’ killer routine of Woman Like Me, Jack quipped: “Dads up and down the country awkwardly fumbling for a scatter cushion right now.”.
