British comedianMo Gilliganis taking on hosting duties this weekend at the BRIT Awards 2023. Gilligan, known for his talk showThe Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan, will be working the gig after a successful go at it in 2022.
Gilligan, also a judge on the British version ofThe Masked Singerand host of the UK’s version ofThat’s My Jam, has since joked that he’ll “probably be a bit calmer than last year” when he was “shouting a lot.”
“I was just excited to be out in front of 20,000 people. Everyone was back, it was almost like a bit of a welcome back show a little bit,” he told theBBC. “What you could expect is a bit more controlled chaos on my behalf [this year].”

The BRITs have some performance overlap with last weekend’s Grammys. Not only will Styles and Lizzo take the stage on separate occasions, but the ceremony also boasts a performance from Grammy winnersSam Smith and Kim Petras.
At the Grammys, Styles performed his No. 1 single “As It Was,” Lizzo sung singles “About Damn Time” and “Special,” and Petras and Smith performed “Unholy.” While Styles' backup dancers have said that the Grammys performancefeatured a mishapwith the turntable they were seen on “spinning in reverse,” it remains unclear if Styles will perform the same routine.
Also performing on Saturday are David Guetta, Becky Hill, Ella Henderson, Stormzy, Cat Burns, Wet Leg andLewis Capaldi— who last performed at the award show in 2020.
