Mo Gilligan will be the first black host of the Brit Awards and says he will use his platform to "shine a light on others".
But first, the comedian surprised students at his former school in Croydon.
The 33-year-old is donating his fee for hosting the ceremony to Five X More, a charity which aims to improve black women’s maternal outcomes in the UK.
Mo will host the Brit Awards on 8 February.
