Chris Evans To Host Brits... Again!

Chris Evans has been named as the host of the 2006 Brit Awards.

It will be the fourth time he has handed out the gongs at the UK music industry's most prestigious prize night. He hosted the event at the height of his fame in 1995 and 1996, and then returned in 2005.

"I'm absolutely thrilled," he said. "It's my fourth time, so I should be getting good at it now."

The awards will take place in February at the Earl's Court Arena in London. But if you can't wait that long then look out for the shortlist announcement on January 10 - where the Magic Numbers and KT Tunstall will be performing.
