By 2026, Jack Whitehall had hosted the BRIT Awards six times.
His six ceremonies were held in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2025 and 2026. That makes his run notable not only for its length but also for its two-part pattern: four consecutive shows, a three-year break, then two more appearances. The 2026 ceremony was staged at Manchester’s Co-op Live, the first BRIT Awards held outside London.
The main source of confusion is the gap between Whitehall’s fourth and fifth hosting appearances. Mo Gilligan hosted in 2022 and 2023, while the 2024 ceremony used a presenting team that included Clara Amfo, Maya Jama and Roman Kemp. Those years do not count toward Whitehall’s total. Nor should his other television and awards-show presenting work be added to the BRIT tally.
Whitehall is an English comedian, actor, writer and television personality. His BRIT hosting style is associated with sharp celebrity jokes and deliberately chaotic opening routines, making him one of the ceremony’s most recognisable modern hosts.
