TEAM GB HOMECOMING: EMMA WILLIS AND VERNON KAY TO HOST BBC ONE SPECIAL

Join Emma Willis and Vernon Kay for a spectacular night of music and entertainment to welcome back Team GB from Paris 2024 in style.

Filmed at Manchester’s AO Arena in front of a crowd of over 10,000, Team GB Homecoming by the National Lottery will truly will be an unmissable night of inspiring stories, surprise moments and the opportunity to hear from the stars of Team GB themselves.

The show will also feature a stellar line-up of some of the best British artists, including the much-anticipated return of Clean Bandit with a medley of their biggest hits. Also performing is the iconic Rag‘n’Bone Man and pop superstar Jess Glynne with brand new music.

Global sensation Myles Smith takes to the stage, and Manchester’s very own James treat us to a classic and a new track. And legendary DJ Pete Tong will be getting the party started.

There will be special performances created especially for this event, including a track by hip-hop duo Krept and Konan and a stunning song championing the female Olympic trailblazers from the last 100 years.

Vernon Kay said: “I have seen first-hand how amazingly dedicated and talented our athletes are and the difference the support of National Lottery players makes to their ability to be the best they can be...

"The National Lottery’s Team GB Homecoming event will be a moment to recognise the achievements of the athletes, and thank National Lottery players who have helped them on their journey to Paris. I can’t wait to celebrate together!”

Emma Willis said: “There’s a fantastic buzz during the Olympics, and The National Lottery’s Team GB Homecoming event will be the perfect way to celebrate and welcome home our phenomenal athletes...

"The National Lottery plays a key role in supporting them all to get to the Games, so everyone involved is ready for a big old party packed with athletes, artists, and of course, the public! I'm super excited to be asked to host, along with Vernon. I have no doubt it’ll be a very fun and special evening.”

Team GB Homecoming airs Sunday 18th August from 8:30pm on BBC One.
