Amanda Holden and Alan Carr are named as the joint hosts of this year's Royal Variety Performance.

Amanda Holden and Alan Carr have been revealed as the joint hosts of this year's Royal Variety Performance.

This year's event will be attended by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the Royal Albert Hall in London for a show that will feature a performance by Britain's Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas.

Also on the bill this year are magical duo Penn and Teller, Vanessa Williams, James Bay, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Stephen Mulhern, Cirque Du Soleil, Lorraine Kelly and Marti Pellow.

"I am completely thrilled to be asked back to host the Royal Variety Performance so soon, what a compliment and an honour!" said Carr, who previously hosted the 2021 Performance.

"To be able to host this magical evening with my best friend and tv wife Amanda Holden is the icing on the cake for me. If I have half as much fun as I did three years ago, well we are all in for a real treat."

Holden added: "It truly is such an honour to be hosting the Royal Variety Performance this year. I'm still pinching myself! This is a dream job and Alan is a true friend, we are already bursting with ideas and excitement, it's going to be such a fun night!

"I've worked on Britain's Got Talent for 18 years and have been so proud watching all our winners perform for the Royal Family. This year will be no different, so in the words of Sydnie Christmas, let's av it!"

This year's show takes place this Friday, November 22 and will be broadcast on ITV in the run-up to Christmas.
