The BRIT Awards are back for 2022, and there’s a new presenter in town.
After four years hosting the music awards ceremony, Jack Whitehall has stepped down from the BRITs.
Following last year’s event, the comedian tweeted that he’d be “handing on the baton” to someone else for 2022 to focus on another project abroad.
“Sad to say after 4 brilliant years, I’ll be handing on the baton as I’ll be in the US filming another project at the top of next year. Loved doing it so much. All the best to the new host, I pray they treat Mursy, my mixers and sweet little Nialler with the respect they deserve.”
The Masked Singer judge Mo Gilligan will take over hosting duties for 2022.
Here’s everything you need to know.

We’re already in the extensive planning stages and all I can say is, I promise we’re going to give it all we’ve got to create an incredible night for music fans everywhere. Let’s go!”
