It has been announced that the Variety Club Showbusiness Awards will return once again this October, hosted by Katie Piper and Mark Wright.
The 2025 Variety Club Showbusiness Awards will raise funds to transform children’s lives

As well as a line up of glamour, celebrity and exceptional entertainment, the evening will also recognise outstanding achievements across various fields, including Film, TV, Comedy, Theatre and Music. The event consistently draws a distinguished assembly of international celebrities, industry leaders, and influential personalities.

The 2025 Awards will be extremely special, celebrating 70 years of ITV while once again making a vital difference in transforming the lives of vulnerable children and young people.”
