The Doctor Who star – who is presenting this Sunday (18th February)’s ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall, London – admitted to his lack of nerves while speaking exclusively with virginradio.co.uk about the role last month.

The stunning downfall of tycoon Lawrence Jones as he’s found guilty of rape: How UKFast founder and ‘nicest boss in Britain’ went from hotel pianist to multi millionaire who played chess with Sir Richard Branson, before £700m empire came crashing down

Barely four years ago he was on track to becoming a self-made billionaire.

Having started his working life as a hotel pianist, an eye for an opportunity saw the web-hosting business which Lawrence Jones and his wife Gail founded in their spare bedroom grow into a tech powerhouse employing 500 people.

Along with a £700million fortune came an invitation to play chess against fellow entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson on Necker Island, being appointed MBE for services to the digital economy, and becoming a major donor to the Conservative Party.

The couple also own exclusive Swiss nightclub Le Farinet where Prince William was in 2017 pictured dancing with his hands on the waist of a mystery blonde during a lads’ skiing trip.
