The Olivier Awards 2024 | Preview (ITV1)

Actress Hannah Waddingham has been confirmed to host the 2024 Olivier Awards, celebrating London's theatrical talent at a star-studded awards evening, this April.

The Ted Lasso star returns for a second year as host, she originally took over from comedian Jason Manford, who has hosted the ceremony for the five years previous from the Royal Albert Hall.

Claire Walker and Hannah Essex, co-CEOs of the Society of London Theatre said last year: "The Olivier Awards are the highlight of the theatrical calendar – a time for the industry to come together with fans to celebrate the extraordinary talent both on our stages and behind the curtain...

"Already, in our first few months of this job, it is clear that we have joined a uniquely innovative, diverse and resilient sector. To be able to recognise these qualities on the stage of the Royal Albert Hall will be a real thrill."

The ceremony takes places on Sunday 14th April and will air on ITV1 afterwards.
