Ted Lasso and Lorraine stars announced for special performance
Ted Lasso star Ellie Taylor and Lorraine Kelly have been announced as performers for The Royal Variety Performance.
The annual event, which will be hosted this year by Alan Carr and Amanda Holden, sees various performers show their skills as they raise money for the Royal Variety Charity, of which King Charles III is life-patron.
This year’s show will see Lorraine joined by the Change and Check Choir, with the group performing a rendition of 'Love Is All Around' to raise awareness for breast cancer detection, with the display set to include some special guests.

There will also be musical performances from the legendary Elton John, who is premiering his stage show The Devil Wears Prada, with Britain’s Got Talent champion Sydnie Christmas also taking to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall.
There will also be some magic from Penn and Teller, whilst Taylor - who played Flo 'Sassy' Collins on Ted Lasso - will be joined on the stand-up comedy front by Matt Forde and Larry Dean.
“I am completely thrilled to be asked back to host the Royal Variety Performance so soon, what a compliment and an honour!” said Carr, who previously presented the show back in 2021.
“To be able to host 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, well we are all in for a real treat.”

“It truly is such an honour to be hosting the Royal Variety Performance this year,” added Holden. “I’m still pinching myself! This is a dream job and Alan is a true friend, we are already bursting with ideas and excitement, it’s going to be such a fun night!
“I’ve worked on Britain’s Got Talent for 18 years and have been so proud watching all our winners perform for the Royal Family. This year will be no different, so in the words of Sydnie Christmas, let’s av it!”
The Royal Variety Performance will be broadcast on ITV1.
