Jack Whitehall says Hugh Jackman would be a good quiz show host.

The 30-year-old comedian, who is set to perform with the \'Greatest Showman\' actor at the BRIT Awards in London tonight (20.02.19), has compared the 50-year-old star to an Australian version of \'The Chase\' host Bradley Walsh.

Speaking to Chris Evans on his Virgin Radio breakfast show, Jack said: "He\'s so cool.

"He\'s Australia\'s answer to Bradley Walsh.

"He could definitely do \'The Chase\'."

Jack says he\'s been practising for his hosting duties by performing in front of a load of cameras.

He said: "I\'ve been rehearsing in front of about 40 cameras and thought it was good practice for the actual moment of people who will be listening to me on the night."

Meanwhile, Jack recently swore live on daytime television whilst speaking about the ceremony.

Christine Lampard had to apologise to viewers after he dropped a naughty word on \'Lorraine\' on Tuesday (19.02.19).

He said: "Everyone\'s there to have a good time, it\'s quite a raucous event, the best thing about last year though was that everyone was absolutely p****d."

Jack - who first hosted the annual awards bash in 2018 - revealed that \'This Morning\' co-hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were among the most rowdy members of the star-studded audience last year.

He continued: "You\'ve got all these rockstars, the Foo Fighters, people like that that you expect to be very rowdy.

"Yet, still, it was Schofield and Willoughby who were the most drunk in the entire arena and behaving more outrageously than any of the rockstars.

"They put them all to shame so, you know, it\'s a crazy event and people want the craziness, they want the raucousness, so you\'ve got to just embrace the chaos."

Jack initially appeared to have been oblivious to his mishap.

But Christine - who is married to retired soccer star Frank Lampard - quickly offered an apology to the \'Lorraine\' viewers.

She said: "I\'m glad you said \'drunk\' as opposed the other word that you just said - we\'ll apologise for that this morning because it is half term."

The BRIT Awards are aired on ITV from 8pm.
