The Performance was hosted by Lee Mack and included performances from Nile Rogers & Chic, George Ezra, Ellie Goulding, Sam Ryder, Becky Hill, the cast of the musical Cabaret and the cast of Cirque du Soleil. The evening also featured a duet by Rita Wilson and Gregory Porter, a rendition of Frank Skinner, David Baddiel and The Lightning Seeds’ hit ‘Three Lions’, as well as a special collaboration between Andrew Loyd Weber, Gary Barlow, Gareth Malone and the London Youth choir. Afterwards, the Earl and Countess went up on stage to meet the performers. The event was filmed by ITV, and will be screened later this month.
