Ant & Dec to host Brit Awards

Ant & Dec have been confirmed as the next hosts of the Brit Awards.

The TV duo will host the 2015 event some fourteen years after they first presented the awards.

The ceremony will take place at London's O2 Arena on February 25.

Ant & Dec commented: "We're really excited to be hosting the Brits again next year - it is undoubtedly the biggest night in the British music calendar.

"We're especially excited now we're number one recording artists ourselves. We'll be offering our advice to the fledgling pop stars backstage as to how to have a number one hit, as long as they're prepared to wait 19 years for their records to top the chart like ours did."

Brits chairman Max Lousada added: "Ant & Dec are two of the most popular TV broadcasters this country has ever produced and it's a real honour to have them take centre stage once again to host the Brits. It's great that these two pillars of British TV will be part of a night about celebrating icons in British music."

Ant & Dec replace outgoing host James Corden, who presided over the ceremony for the last four years.
