"I can’t quite believe the BBC are letting me entertain and party with the great British public this New Year’s (& years) Eve!!! I’m so excited," Olly said in a statement.

"I feel hugely privileged to be bringing in the new year for everybody tuning in, I promise it’s going to be an extremely fun and unforgettable televisual experience!"

Kylie Minogue - whom Olly has collaborated twice this year, on a remix to new single Starstruck and on Second To Midnight from Disco's Guest List edition - said that she "can’t wait to perform with Olly again."

The new shows comes ahead forthcoming third studio album Night Call, which will be released January 7 2022 via Polydor. Arriving four years after sophomore record Palo Santo, it will be the first since the departure of Years & Years co-founding members Mikey Goldsworthy and Emre Türkmen. 

The band originally broke through in 2015, netting both a UK Number 1 single (King - their biggest seller with combined chart sales of 1.73 million) and Number 1 album (Communion - the fastest-selling debut record for a signed band at the time) in the same year. 

Olly's starring role in acclaimed Channel 4 drama It's A Sin earlier this year also saw The Pet Shop Boys hit of the same name receive a huge spike in streams following the transmission.
