Are you ready for The Brit Awards? Are you REALLY ready?

The line-up looks amazing and there are some HUGE names up for gongs this year – everyone from Sia to Skepta will have their fingers, toes and everything else crossed.

Except Olly Murs, as he didn't get any nominations so declined the offer to host the show.

Awkward.

Michael Buble was confirmed as the host in November, but following the tragic cancer diagnosis of his three-year-old son, he has bowed out in order to focus his attention on getting his little boy better.

Ant and Dec, who have hosted the show previously, were on fans lips as the replacement hosts, but due to conflicting schedules with Britain's Got Talent they're not down for it, either.

So who does that leave us with?

The one and only Dermot O'Leary, of course.

He won his X Factor spot back last year (soz AGAIN, Olly), and reminded the nation why we love him.

Even though we found out he kisses his WINDOW every night before he goes to sleep, because apparently that's a thing.

Yes, really.

According to The Sun, The Brit Award bosses turned to the presenter to see if he was up for it.

"He has been at the helm of The X Factor for a decade and has a solid awards background too, thanks to the NTAs. He [Dermot] is talking to producers but hasn’t made a decision yet," they told the paper.

Erm – can we answer for you, Dermot?

It begins with a Y.

In other news, Scotty T is the latest celeb in the Steph Davis baby daddy line-up, and Celebrity Big Brother's Nicola McLean has been branded 'disgusting and vile' for her jibe about Kim Woodburn being childless.

What. A. Week.

And it's only Tuesday.
