Mo Gilligan is hosting this year's Brit Awards alongside BBC Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo and TV presenter Maya Jama.

Mo, 33, uploaded his comedy clips - which consisted mainly of character sketches - to social media before becoming the famous face we know now.
An established comedian, Mo has sold-out tours and has two Netflix specials. His first, titled Momentum, was released in 2019 and his second, Mo Gilligan: There's Mo To Life, will premiere on the platform on 17 February.

Before fame, Mo was working for Levi Jeans in Covent Garden. But things changed for the Londoner when a certain rapper spotted his gags online and the comedian became a huge success.
Mo started out with his hilarious comedy videos, before catching Drake’s attention back in 2017 with a clip parodying ‘Cockney guys when they see a bit of sun’.
Donning on a cockney accent, he cried out: "F***ing hell it’s a bit hot.
"Jesus f**king Christ, it’s like Jamaica. Julie, get a coupla cans in! Get a coupla cans, love."
Shortly after, the Canadian rapper shared a snap to his Instagram, writing in the caption: "Enjoying this 'Julie bring me a couple cans' weather today," reports My London.
