This year the show was hosted by comedian and Inbetweeners star Greg Davies.

He said of the honour: I am delighted to host the Royal Variety.

It is a role that I am wildly unsuited to and I will no doubt offend a great many people, but my Mum has a voracious appetite for meeting members of the Royal family and this seems a reasonable price to pay for the gift of life.

Who performed on the night?

As well as Take That, you can look forward to performances from George Ezra, Clean Bandit, and Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo, as well as the casts of the West End productions of Hamilton and Tina – The Tina Turner Musical.

Rick Astley will also be taking to the stage, as will singer Sigrid and cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason – while you can expect breathtaking performances from Cirque Du Soleil and Circus 1903 with their elephant puppetry.

Plus you can also look forward to comedians Rhod Gilbert, Gad Almaleh and Rod Woodward – as well as Britains Got Talent winner Lost Voice Guy.
