‘I must be doing something right to be invited back’: Jack Whitehall reveals he is ‘honoured’ to host the Brit Awards for the FOURTH time in a row

Jack Whitehall is set to host the Brit Awards for the fourth time in a row as the ceremony returns in May.

The comedian, 32, has presented the star-studded bash for the last three years and told how he is looking forward to returning to The O2 Arena after a year of lockdown.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: ‘It really is always an honour to do it but this year feels even more special. I must be doing something right to be invited back.

‘This is about celebrating all the artists that made the music which helped us get through what’s been a b*d of a year. It’s also now just a nice excuse to get out of the house and put on a suit.’ 

The publication reports that Brit bosses are still working out how they will get audiences into the venue safely and comply with Covid restrictions.

Glitzy after-parties are also likely to be off the cards for this year’s show, with Jack joking his mother Hilary may present a Covid health risk as she ‘lunged’ at Stormzy last year in an attempt to get a selfie.

Jack has sparked controversy with some of his jokes in previous years, including a joke about dads ‘fumbling’ at home over a Little Mix performance.

The comic insisted: ‘As the host I try to not say controversial things but I guess as a comedian my radar might be a little off.’

Jack added that he thinks he knows which of his jokes will end up in the papers the next day but he is almost always wrong. 

This year’s nominations will be announced by Nick Grimshaw on Wednesday on the Brit’s social media channels. 

Details of who will be performing at the show are also expected to be announced in due course.

Some of the big winners at last year’s ceremony included Stormzy for Best Male Solo Artist, Mabel for Best Female Solo Artist and Lewis Capaldi’s Someone You Loved for Song of the Year.

Jack’s latest gig comes after he and his father Michael filmed their fourth season of Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father in the nick of time before the pandemic forced the world into lockdown.

Jack and his 80-year-old dad faced various entertaining trials and tribulations as they travelled around Australia.

The trip Down Under proved fruitful for Jack as he met his now girlfriend, British model Roxy Horner, 29.

Amid a whirlwind romance, the couple moved in together during the first lockdown after just two weeks of dating.
