He shared: ‘I am so excited to be presenting this year’s show. It’s been 30 years this year since I first performed at The Royal Variety Performance, so what an absolute honour to be hosting.
‘The line-up is incredible and I can’t wait for you all to see what I have in store.’
The British legend wasn’t lying as he bragged about the line-up as as multi-award winning superstar Cher will headline – year, you read that right, Cher.
The 77-year-old will be performing a number from her new Christmas album to get everyone in the festive spirit.
A very special Disney display will also be put on in honour of the studio’s 100th anniversary with a medley from the casts of The Lion King, Frozen, Aladdin, Hercules and Beauty & The Beast.
