Speaking ahead of next month’s event, Alan said: “It’s always such a fantastic night - I feel like I’ve just got over the last one. Plus to have my mate and Radio 2 co-host and partner in crime Melanie Sykes on hand to share the presenting duties just makes the night even more special.
“It is a fantastic event that does so much to celebrate people in the LGBT community who are making a real difference, as well highlighting the straight allies who give their much-needed support. And in 2017 these awards are more important than ever. I am so proud to be part of it.
“It is going to be a brilliant night and I am looking forward to reuniting with my Mel on stage to present the winners. It’s going to be glitzy and fabulous affair with some very special moments.”
