Ant and Dec are the hosts most people want to see fronting the BRIT Awards, according to new research from Sky Bingo. A survey of 2,000 UK adults has revealed who they’d like to host the show
Alan Carr follows closely behind, while one in ten would happily see Jeremy Clarkson take to the BRITs stage. Despite hosting the show five times previously, only 11% want to see Jack Whitehall pick up the microphone again.
Other host people would like to see include Danny Dyer and Ricky Gervais.
Freddie Mercury’s final public appearance as he collected the Outstanding Contribution Award in 1991, was voted as the most iconic BRIT Awards moment.
That was followed by Jarvis Cocker invading the stage during Earth Song, Geri Halliwell's Union Flag dress, Amy Winehouse's 2008 appearance and Madonna's cape fall.
A spokesperson for Sky Bingo said: “The BRIT Awards never fail to serve up a moment – whether it’s a powerhouse performance, a jaw-dropping outfit, or the kind of on-stage chaos that has everyone rewinding their TVs.
“Our research shows that the nation might come for the music, but they stay for the mayhem. At Sky Bingo, we know a little drama keeps things interesting, and if these predictions are anything to go by, this year’s BRITs could be less ‘smooth sailing’ and more ‘hold onto your hats.’”
