On Wednesday 21st February, presenters Maya Jama and Professor Green will front The BRIT Awards red carpet live coverage. Tune in to facebook.com/BRITs to catch all the red carpet action from 4.30pm on the day, leading up to the main show.

BRITs red carpet alumni Maya Jama is no stranger to The BRIT Awards and returns this year to front the red carpet live coverage. With US Vogue describing her as “supremely cool”, collaborations including H&M, ASOS and Adidas, and previous presenting work on VEVO, MTV and 4Music, she is primed to chat music, fashion and more as the stars of this year’s BRITs descend on The O2.

With two UK Top 10 albums to date and recent acclaim for BBC and Channel 4 documentaries exploring issues affecting Modern Britain, who better to co-host than rapper and TV personality Professor Green. He returns with new music this year, including his new single 'Unruly'.

Maya Jama said:

“Beyond excited to be back on the BRITs red carpet this year chatting to all the nominees! And going out live on Facebook...anything could happen. Professor Green and I are going to have such a laugh!“

Professor Green said:

"I can't wait to ask Liam how he feels being the only Gallagher nominated. I'm also looking forward to working with Maya Jama and creating some BRITs memories for new viewers"

In addition to announcing their hosting duties, Maya Jama and Professor Green were put through their paces in a series of red carpet training exercises by Amelia Dimoldenberg, famous for her Chicken Shop Dates, just to ensure they are up to the job of hosting the BRITs red carpet live stream.  Check it out over on facebook.com/BRITs

Hosted by Jack Whitehall, the 38th BRIT Awards with Mastercard will take place at The O2, with performances from world-conquering superstars Justin Timberlake, Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Sam Smith, Rita Ora and record-breaking five-time nominee Dua Lipa. Additionally, Jorja Smith will make history by becoming the first BRITs Critics’ Choice recipient to perform on the BRITs main show in the same year as winning the award, taking to the stage alongside 2017’s Critics’ Choice Award winner Rag’n’Bone Man. And in another BRIT Awards first, Foo Fighters will take to the stage, having picked up three BRIT Awards for Best International Group to date. Of course, the night is also about who will take home one of the striking Anish Kapoor designed awards.
