Mo Gilligan is set to return to host the 2023 BRIT Awards next month.

He said in a statement: “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!”
Nominations for the 2023 BRITs are set to be announced on Thursday (January 12) from 4pm GMT. Presented by Vick Hope and Jack Saunders, Bring on The BRITs will be broadcast on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
