Ant McPartlin reveals one show he won't host 'never again'

TV presenter Ant McPartlin has announced that he will not be returning to host the BRIT Awards again due to the challenges of managing the audience during the event.

TV presenter Ant McPartlin, known for his popular partnership with Declan Donnelly, has disclosed that he will not host the BRIT Awards again. He expressed that although the awards are a significant occasion for winners and their guests, the responsibility of controlling a lively crowd during the ceremony is quite challenging. This announcement came during a discussion on their podcast, 'Hanging Out with Ant & Dec'.

The duo has hosted the BRITs on three different occasions, specifically in 2001, 2015, and 2016. While the experience has its enjoyable moments, McPartlin indicated that the difficulties of presenting outweighed the positives, leading him to conclude his participation at the ceremony. The sentiment they shared on their podcast reflected a relieved acknowledgment that they won't be leading this year's event.

McPartlin and Donnelly have been staples in British television for many years, and their decision not to host the BRIT Awards again could impact the event's presentation style. Fans of the show may have mixed feelings, as the pair are well-loved, but it might also open the door for new hosts to bring fresh energy to the awards ceremony.
