The Masked Singer presenter and comedian Joel Dommett will host this year's National Television Awards live from London's O2 on 9th September.
Joel said: "It’s a huge honour to be hosting the NTAs this year! It still feels like someone has made a wonderful error. I really, really love TV and can’t wait to celebrate the best stuff from what’s been a very weird year or so...
He continued: "I’m also really hoping The Masked Singer wins something so I can present an award to myself. That’s a creative narcissist’s DREAM!"
NTAs producer Kim Turberville said of Joel’s appointment as host: "There is a wealth of great television to recognise and we are delighted to have Joel at the helm. With his wit and natural charisma, he’ll definitely be bringing a fresh approach to this year’s awards."
