\n\tThe Brits will be held on March 1 at London\u2019s O2 arena. Nominations are due to be announced in the coming weeks, alongside performers at the event. The ceremony will be broadcast live on ITV 1 and streaming service ITV X.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhitehall previously hosted the ceremonies in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. In 2024, a trio of hosts made up of radio DJs Roman Kemp, Clara Amfo and TV presenter Maya Jama took on the role.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking on the news, Whitehall said: \u201cThey say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that is absolutely the case with the BRIT Awards \u2014 it is my favorite night of the year, and I am delighted to be invited back to host in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhitehall rose to fame in the TV comedy series Fresh Meat<\/em> in 2011 and went on to create and star in the BBC show Bad Teacher<\/em>. He has also played a number of large venues \u2013 including The O2 arena\u00a0\u2013 during his career as a stand-up.<\/p>\n

\n\tA number of comedians have taken on the role over the years, including Mo Gilligan and former talk-show host James Corden<\/a>. Whitehall has courted controversy in the past, and in 2021 <\/a>was censored by broadcaster ITV when he turned fire on the \u201ccorporate w\u2013\u2013\u2013ers in the boxes\u201d at The O2 arena.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe red carpet show hosted prior to the event on ITV 2 will be presented by DJ Harriet Rose alongside satirist and comedian Munya Chawawa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this week, the lineup for 2025\u2019s Brits Week<\/a> was announced and included former winners such as Clean Bandit<\/a> and Kasabian<\/a> in the slate. The live shows will take place in the U.K. throughout February and March, and raise money for the charity War Child.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn December, Luton-born musician Myles Smith<\/a> was announced as the recipient of The Brits\u2019 Rising Star award for 2025<\/a>, which tips rising stars for future success. Smith beat out competition from Elmiene and Good Neighbours to scoop the prize. Previous winners include Adele (2008), Sam Smith (2014) and most recently The Last Dinner Party (2024).<\/p>\n
