The Awards, which celebrate cinematic achievements in the local and global film industry, will take place on March 20th and Little Britain star David will be hosting in front of a star-studded audience.

He said, “It’s a huge thrill to be hosting the Jameson Empire Awards. I have read the magazine for as long as I can remember and am super excited to find out which Hollywood stars are attending this year.”

Empire’s editor-in-chief, Terri White, added: “I have long been a massive fan of David’s work – even if my ribs don’t always thank me for it – so I’m absolutely over the moon that he’s agreed to host this year’s Jameson Empire Awards. With such a brilliant host and more gongs up for grabs than ever before, it’s sure to be a night to remember.”
