Corden & Horne to host Brits

Big gig for Gavin & Stacey stars

Gavin and Stacey stars James Corden and Matthew Horne have been named as the hosts of next year’s Brit Awards.

The high-profile engagement will take place at London’s Earls Court in February, a year after they hosted the smaller-scale NME Awards.

Corden and Horne will be taking over from Russell Brand, who has just resigned from the BBC.

Meanwhile, they will be continuing to work on their own sketch show for the corporation.
