Ant and Dec

Ant and Dec

Ant and Dec have been announced as the new hosts for 2015's BRIT Awards with Mastercard.

The stars first fronted the ceremony way back in 2001, but are "really excited" to have been chosen to return and present next year's event.

In a statement they said: "We're really excited to be hosting the Brits again, it is undoubtedly the biggest night in the British music calendar."

The pair even joked they'd be giving out advice to chart success after 1944 single 'Let's Get Ready to Rhumble' went to number one after being re-released following a sketch on Saturday Night Takeaway.

"We're especially excited now we're number recording artists ourselves.

"We'll be offering our advice to the fledgling pop stars backstage as to how to have a number one, as long as they're prepared to wait 19 years to top the charts!"

Bosses are said to be thrilled to find James Corden's replacement in the duo.

Chairman Max Lousada said: "Ant and Dec are two of the most popular TV broadcasters this country has ever produced and it's a real honour to have them take centre stage once again to host the Brits."

The ceremony takes place on February 25 at London's O2 Arena.
