Who is hosting this year?

This year comedian Jack Whitehall will be returning to host the prestigious show for the fifth time, the most recent being in 2025. Speaking about his return to the event, Jack said: "I am so excited to be coming back for this very special BRIT Awards in Manchester, a place that is so important to me.

"The city I started my comedy career in, it feels like a real full circle moment returning to host this historic night at the Co-op Live, a venue that is only a stone’s throw away from the comedy club I did my first 10 minute set in all those years ago. Hopefully I get a few more laughs than I did that night. I cannot wait."
