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!"

Clara Amfo, Maya Jama and Roman Kemp will also be on screen for the pre-event broadcast, which will bring viewers all the gossip as celebrities and artists arrive for the big night.
