Mo Gilligan returns as host of the BRITs

Comedian and presenter Mo Gilligan is back to host the BRIT Awards 2023.

Making his debut last year at the UK's most prestigious music awards ceremony, he'll return again on February 11th in London's O2 Arena.

Mo Gilligan replaced Jack Whitehall in 2022 and has told fans he plans to go "even bigger" this year. During last year's ceremony, he swore before the 9pm watershed and was forced to apologise to viewers.

Speaking after the announcement, Mo 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!"

This year's BRIT Award nominations will be announced on Thursday in an exclusive live stream. TV and Radio broadcaster Vick Hope along with radio host and alternative music champion Jack Saunders will front the reveal on Thursday.
