The Variety Club Showbusiness Awards are back for 2025, returning on Sunday 19 October 2025 at The Londoner Hotel in Leicester Square.
Hosted by author and broadcaster Katie Piper and actor and TV personality Mark Wright, this year’s awards will celebrate the 70th anniversary of ITV.
The annual awards celebrate exceptional talent in the worlds of TV, film and theatre, and support the charitable work of Variety, the Children’s Charity, raising millions of pounds for children with disabilities and disadvantages across the United Kingdom.
The ceremony will honour ITV, which started broadcasting in the UK in 1955, providing a dazzling line-up of celebrities and entertainment.
The Variety Club Showbusiness Awards recognise outstanding achievements across Film, TV, Comedy, Theatre and Music.

The Awards have maintained the dual purpose of celebrating exceptional talent and supporting the charitable work of Variety, raising millions of pounds for children with disabilities from disadvantaged backgrounds across the UK. 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.”
