Who is hosting the BRIT Awards 2022?
Mo Gilligan takes over from Jack Whitehall for the 2022 awards.
The BRIT Awards are back for 2022, with a new face on hosting duties.
The Masked Singer judge Mo Gilligan will take over from Jack Whitehall, who has stepped down from the BRITs after four years hosting the awards ceremony.
Talking about being picked to host the BRIT Awards 2022, Gilligan said he still has “pinch me moments”.
“It’s been one of those shows that I’ve always watched. And the fact I get to host it, it feels like a massive honour," he told the Evening Standard.
Here's everything you need to know about the ceremony's new host.
Who is hosting The BRIT Awards 2022?
Mo Gilligan is the host of The BRIT Awards 2022.
He announced the news back in November, saying: "It’s an absolute privilege to host the 2022 BRIT Awards. I’m truly honoured to be asked. We’re already in the extensive planning stages and all I can say is, I promise we’re going to give it all we’ve got to create an incredible night for music fans everywhere. Let’s go!"
Mo is a British stand-up comedian who found global success in 2017, after years of uploading comedy clips to social media. He hosts The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan, which debuted in 2019 on Channel 4.

In 2020, Mo became a judge on The Masked Singer. The year after, he joined the judging panel for the first season of The Masked Dancer.
Why won't Jack Whitehall be hosting the BRIT Awards 2022?
Following last year's event, Whitehall tweeted that he'd be "handing on the baton" to someone else for 2022 to try his hand at other projects.
"Sad to say after 4 brilliant years, I’ll be handing on the baton as I’ll be in the US filming another project at the top of next year," he wrote.
"Loved doing it so much. All the best to the new host, I pray they treat Mursy, my mixers and sweet little Nialler with the respect they deserve."
