BRITs Chairman and Chairman & CEO of Sony Music UK & Ireland Jason Iley said: "I am delighted that Clara has agreed to host our nominations show for 2019, she is a fantastic presenter and broadcaster, and the perfect choice for our new prime-time Saturday slot. The line up is a true reflection of the best of British music right now and I am excited to see the performances as we announce the nominations for next year's BRITs."

The nominations for British Male/Female, British Breakthrough, British Group, British Single, British Artist Video of the Year, International Male/Female, International Group, and the prestigious Mastercard British Album of the Year will be announced on the night.
