This year's results will be announced in London, at a gala hosted by Lenny Henry. He says: "This is a great honour. The more the world at large can witness someone like me hosting something like the Rose d'Or, the more kids that look like me will say 'If Len can do that, then so can I.' Thank you for this opportunity."
