As well as hosting tonight’s Brit Awards, Jack Whitehall is set to perform alongside Hugh Jackson.
The Sun has reported that the comedian will open the show by joining Hugh for a Greatest Showman-themed performance, which will be broadcast live on ITV from London’s O2 Arena.
An insider said: “This is one of the Brits’ biggest ever opening numbers. Hugh and Jack have been rehearsing behind closed doors with the dancers and no one has been allowed to watch the finished product yet.”
“The Âaudience are going to have a part to play in the Âperformance and will all be Âwearing lit-up wristbands. It’s going to be Âsomething very special indeed.”
…Ladies and gents, this is the moment you’ve waited for, @RealHughJackman is performing at The BRITs! ✨
Watch The #BRITs live on 20 February on @ITV & @WeAreSTV! If you’re outside of the UK, you can watch on https://t.co/QjEmDoNxZW ????
