We are having to wait a little longer this year for The BRIT Awards with Mastercard to land, but now that Jack Whitehall has been announced to host the show on Tuesday 11th May, and the nominations have been revealed, excitement is heating up!

Although the show is expected to be a little different in 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic, a whole host of some of the UK's biggest stars are still expected to attend, including the likes of Harry Styles, Dua Lipa and Joel Corry.

As we count down the days for The BRIT Awards 2021, take a trip down memory lane to see how the show celebrated its 40th anniversary back in 2020.
