How to watch Team GB's homecoming from Olympics 2024
Emma Willis and Vernon Kay are hosting a huge night of entertainment to welcome home Team GB.
There was no shortage of magical moments for Team GB at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, from Keely Hodgkinson taking gold and Adam Peaty’s epic comeback to Tom Daley completing the full set of Olympics medals by claiming silver with his diving partner Noah Williams.
It's against this backdrop that the BBC has planned a huge homecoming celebration for Britain’s athletes today (17th August).
The celebration, which has been set up in collaboration with the National Lottery, will be hosted by Emma Willis and Vernon Kay, with interviews and appearances from Olympic legends and rising stars following their return from the Olympics.
The special show will also feature performances from iconic UK artists including Clean Bandit, Jess Glynne, Pete Tong, Myles Smith, Nina Nesbitt, James, Krept & Konan and Rag’n’Bone Man, as well as a special song to champion the female Olympic athletes of the last 100 years.
Vernon Kay said: “I have seen first-hand how amazingly dedicated and talented our athletes are. This Homecoming event will be a moment to recognise the achievements of these incredible athletes. I can’t wait to celebrate together!”

That result is definitely worthy of some celebration!
