ITV Digital's Monkey has been signed up to conduct star interviews at this year's Brit Awards.



Monkey, who was developed to promote ITV Digital's rebrand from ONdigital last year, will interview pop stars and music players backstage at the ceremony, which is to be broadcast on ITV1 one day later on February 27.

The network is now in negotiations with Monkey's double-act - comedian Johnny Vegas - to assist him on the night.

This year's Brit Awards are to be presented by Frank Skinner and Zoe Ball, and will feature performances from Dido, Gorillaz and Kylie Minogue.
