The Australian actor and producer will be joined by a troupe of circus performers on the night and we could even see guest appearances from some of his co-stars from the blockbuster film.

The Greatest Showman is on its way to becoming one of the biggest musicals of all-time - with the film's soundtrack dominating the chart in 2018 - so it's only right that the film is celebrated at the BRITs this year.

The 1975, George Ezra, Little Mix and Ms Banks, Jess Glynne and H.E.R., Pink, Jorja Smith, and Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa, Rag'n'Bone Man and Sam Smith are the other performances confirmed for the ceremony.
