Ricky Gervais has joked he will host the Golden Globe Awards "drunk".

The British comic star - who will be the first person to front the US ceremony solo since 1995 - insists he isn't going to stress about his preparations for the ceremony which is watched by millions.

He is quoted as saying: "I'm going to be drunk and I'm not going to rehearse so it's the perfect gig for me."

The 48-year-old actor has already spoken about how he can't wait to have free reign as presenter when he takes charge of proceedings.
