Speaking about hosting The Royal Variety Performance 2021, 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!"
The event is staged in aid of the Royal Variety Charity, whose patron is Her Majesty The Queen. The money raised from the show helps those people from the world of entertainment in need of care and assistance.
The Royal Variety Performance 2021 will air on ITV
