Mo Gilligan has stepped down from his hosting duties at The Brit Awards after two years.
The comedian, 35, announced on Monday that he will not be taking centre stage at the 2024 ceremony and will be "handing over the baton".
He wrote on Instagram: "I've had the most incredible time working on The Brits but unfortunately as I'll be in the US for my first World Tour next spring, I'm sorry to say that I'll be stepping down from hosting duties for 2024 and handing over the baton.
"It's been phenomenal to work on this iconic event," he continued. "I've loved getting to know all the remarkable people who run The Brit Trust and the outstanding Brit School.
"The tireless work you do to improve lives through the power of music and the creative arts is sensational and I promise to continue supporting wherever I can.
"Thank you to ITV for making a young man's dream come true and to all the brilliant performers, guests, production team and most importantly, the viewers at home for all your amazing support.
"It's been an honour. See you on Tour."
Following the announcement, a BRITs spokesperson said in a statement: "The BRITs are incredibly proud of Mo hosting the awards for the last two years.
"He is an exceptional entertainer who is going from strength to strength in his career, and we thank him for delivering two brilliant shows for us...
"We are excited to welcome someone new to the helm for 2024, with more details to be announced at a later date."
Taking to his Stories, Gilligan re-posted a tweet he wrote in 2011, which stated: "In 2013 I need to host the #MOBO's or #TheBritAwards *Fingers Crossed*."
Last year, the famous annual music ceremony aired on a weekend date for the first time in history.
Following its ratings success, it pulled its highest viewership in three years, next year's BRITs will maintain its Saturday night slot and hit ITV screens on March 2.
