Their hilarious dynamic is a hit with fans, who love the TV personalities individually, but even more as a couple.

Alan said: ‘I’m delighted to be asked to host the Royal Variety Performance again so soon, what a compliment and an honour!

‘To be able to organize this magical evening with my best friend and TV wife Amanda Holden is the icing on the cake for me.

“If I have half as much fun as I did three years ago, we’re all in for a real treat.”

Amanda said: “It is truly an honor to host this year’s Royal Variety Performance. I’m still pinching myself!

‘This is a dream job and Alan is a true friend, we are already bursting with ideas and enthusiasm, it will be such a fun evening!

‘I’ve worked on Britain’s Got Talent for 18 years and am so proud to see all our winners performing in front of the Royal Family.

‘This year will be no different, so in the words of Sydnie Christmas: let’s experience it!’
