Demi Lovato is set to host the 2020 E! People’s Choice Awards.
The singer has five PCA gongs to her name, and this year, she’ll be taking centre stage as the host of the annual awards ceremony, which will be held in the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, on November 15.
Jen Neal, General Manager, E! News, Live Events & Lifestyle Digital, said in a statement: ‘Demi Lovato is an international icon and we cannot wait for her to host the 2020 E! People’s Choice Awards.’

‘Her authentic presence and dynamic talents will make for an unforgettable night.’
Demi’s role as host comes as a number of the honourees at this year’s ceremony have already been announced, including Jennifer Lopez, who will receive the People’s Icon Award, Tyler Perry, who will take home the People’s Champion Award, and Tracee Ellis Ross, who has bagged the Fashion Icon Award.
For Tyler, the accolade will be awarded in recognition of his contributions to entertainment and his support of charitable organisations such as Feeding America and Covenant House.

The 51-year-old actor, writer, producer and director will also be honoured for his support of the families and friends of the late George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks and Secoriea Turner.
Jen Neal said in a statement earlier this month: ‘In a year of unrest and uncertainty, Tyler Perry proved a natural leader.
‘From his pioneering efforts in successfully, and safely, restarting production and creating jobs at Tyler Perry Studios, to personally supporting charities and families in need, he continuously inspires hope in people. We are honoured to present him with the People’s Champion of 2020 Award.’
Tune in: This year’s event will take place on the 15th of November in Los Angeles
Jennifer, meanwhile, is being honoured for her contributions to music, film, television and fashion, and will be one of only three winners of the prestigious title of People’s Icon, after Friends star Jennifer Aniston, and Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy.
Megan Thee Stallion and Justin Bieber lead the nominations in the music categories with six nominations each, followed closely behind with Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande with five.
