Published 15th Sep 2015

Inseparable duo Ant and Dec are set to host The BRIT Awards for a second consecutive year!

Next year’s ceremony will be the third time they’ve hosted the biggest awards bash in the music calendar and they said they’re “really excited to be back.”

"In all honesty we only intended to do it for one year but had such a good time we are thrilled to be doing it again,” Ant and Dec said.

“Both of us are looking forward to what will be an incredible night, and we can't wait to celebrate the achievements of British music once again.”

BRIT Awards Chairman Max Lousada added: "We're delighted to welcome Ant and Dec back to host the BRITs next year. They played a huge role in the success of this year's event and we’re all looking forward to another great show in 2016."

Taking over from James Corden, Ant and Dec went down storm when they hosted the ceremony last year and even posed for a selfie with Kim Kardashian on stage.

They first helmed The BRITs back in 2001 but have since admitted they didn’t really enjoy the night as they were so nervous.

Last year’s BRITs saw Ed Sheeran take home two of the biggest prizes of the night – Best Solo Artist and Best British Album for ‘x’.

The BRIT Awards takes place at London’s world-famous O2 Arena on Wednesday 24th February 2016.
