OHMYGOSSIP — Joel Dommett admits his job is ridiculous.
The ‘Masked Singer’ presenter will be returning to host the National Television Awards this year for the third time and he tries to calm his nerves by reminding himself how silly it all is.
He told The Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine: “I find it helpful to try to think of how ridiculous this job is: wearing a white tuxedo and handing out awards. It’s a privilege. It’s fun. It brings joy. But it’s also ridiculous. So don’t take yourself too seriously.
“I try to simplify the situation. It’s easy to think, ‘Oh God, there’s 15,000 people here. There’s Ant and Dec and Ricky Gervais and Michael McIntyre in the front row looking at me.’
“It gets so crowded in your head it’s impossible to do the job, which is literally to just read. You’ve got a script and you’ve read it hundreds of times before.”
Despite how “ridiculous” he sometimes thinks his job is, Joel, 38, is grateful for the security of the recurring NTAs gig and his TV presenting as he and wife Hannah Cooper, 32, prepare to welcome their first child together this year.
He explained: “The baby has also come at a really good time. With ‘The Masked Singer’ and the NTAs it’s the first time I’ve ever had job security, so I don’t feel like I have to be out every night doing the comedy clubs. I’m an over-worker so hopefully this will give me a bit of the other side.
“We’re really excited yet it’s petrifying. We know the sex of the baby and we have a name we really like, we’re just hoping the Kardashians don’t steal it before we fully decide on it.
“That’s our worst fear. I’ll probably welcome the baby like I welcome people for the NTAs, with a speech. I just hope it holds off until after the show.”
