James Corden has revealed he's more than happy for Ant & Dec to host The Brit Awards 2015.

Corden - who has fronted the ceremony for the past four years - was quizzed about the I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! duo's new job when promoting new movie, Into The Woods.

Speaking of whether he feels the Geordie twosome are worthy replacements, James told MTV News: "Oh my god, they are better replacements. They are going to be amazing, they're incredible.

"They are gonna be great. They have nothing to worry about, they're the best."

He went on to reveal that Ant & Dec previously turned down the chance to host the bash, but believe they've accepted the job this time around thanks to him!

Corden explained: "I'm honoured really because when I first took it on, no-one wanted to host it.

"Like, Ant & Dec got asked but they didn't want to do it and I feel very honoured and proud of the fact that the changes we made to the show has made it a show which you can host now."

He concluded: "I think it used to be a very difficult gig and they're gonna be far better than I ever was. I promise you that."

Into The Woods is due for release in the UK on January 9.
