The Australian actor and producer will be joined by a troupe of circus performers on the night and we could even see guest appearances from some of his co-stars from the blockbuster film.

The 1975, George Ezra, Little Mix and Ms Banks, Jess Glynne and H.E.R., Pink, Jorja Smith, and Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa, Rag'n'Bone Man and Sam Smith are the other performances confirmed for the ceremony.
