Alan Carr said: "It’s such an honour to be asked to host this year’s Royal Variety Performance, it really is a dream come true.

"With so many amazing performers it’s going to be a night to recollect and if I remember correctly, the last time I appeared I was wearing a skimpy leopard print mini dress so I’m hoping as host this time I’ll be wearing something a bit more classy!"
