Jack Whitehall Goes Into Hiding To Meet With England.
Key Sentence:
- Comedian also actor Jack Whitehall has announced that he is retiring to host the Brit Awards after four years at the helm.
- The 33-year-old wrote on Twitter on Friday that he would "hand over the baton to someone else" next year, as he will shoot in the US in early 2022.
"I enjoy doing it," he wrote on Twitter. "All the best to the new hosts; please treat Morsi [Olly Moors], my mixer [Little Mix], and cute little Nialer [Niall Horan] with the respect they deserve."
The announcement came on that British organizers announced that the awards ceremony would return to London's O2 Arena on February 8. As usual, the show will air on ITV, but there's no word yet on who will replace Whitehall at the helm.

Last year, the postponed ceremony included 4,000 people as part of a pilot program of live government events, with 2,500 tickets awarded to key workers in the Greater London area.
Over the past four years, Whitehall has built a reputation as a popular and irreverent British presenter, one of only seven presenters [if you include Ant and Deck as one] to be reclaimed. He opened production in 2018 with a joke for fake dirty artist Big Shaq's Man's Not Hot, who was wearing an oversized ski jacket. He also joked with Ed Sheeran, saying he was "invited because he doesn't feature a Galway girl."
A year later, it was revealed that he had a husband who was in love with Dua Lipa's father and offered to swap his father. "You have a silver fox; mine is more like a white wanderer," he joked. In 2020, he described Billy Isle as "the only teenager in the world who makes Greta Thunberg look lazy" before continuing to spill tequila on Harry Styles' yellow suit.
Last year, she said Little Mix was "so in sync that they were even able to sync up their pregnancies," adding that Jade Tyrlewol - the only childless member of the group at the time - was now "drinking for three."
The event concluded with Rag 'n' Bone Man, Virtual Pink and Lewisham, and the Greenwich NHS Trust Choir. Whitehall provided "a large number of key workers here and across the country tonight."
