A Strictly Come Dancing star and a Ted Lasso actor have been confirmed to be making their BBC Proms debut this summer.
The 2025 BBC Proms season kicks off on Friday, July 18, and will run right through until Saturday, September, 13.
This year’s edition offers viewers eight weeks of world-class music from leading orchestras, conductors and soloists from the UK and around the world.
25 programmes will be aired across BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Four and CBeebies, and then available on BBC iPlayer for 12 months.
For the fifteenth year running, the Last Night of the Proms will be hosted by Katie Derham, who had left the station in 1998 for ITV.
A number of famous faces will be making their presenting debuts at the BBC Proms this summer, including trumpeter Alison Balsom, BBC Radio 1’s Greg James, and actor, writer and comedian Nick Mohammed.
Alison, who was a soloist at this year’s Last Night of the Proms, will be presenting coverage of on BBC Four Proms: Mahler’s Fifth Symphony, Dvořák’s New World Symphony and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.
Having just been to Glastonbury, Greg will co-host the radio coverage of the JADE Prom at the Glasshouse International Centre of Music in Gateshead on Friday, July 25.
Deep Cover actor Nick, who became a household name as Nate in Ted Lasso, will front The Planets and Star Wars Prom with the National Youth Orchestra on BBC Two.
Other stars on presenting duties for the Proms include Edith Bowman, Andi Oliver, Clara Amfo, Clive Myrie, Georgia Mann, Anita Rani, Linton Stephens, Petroc Trelawny and Tom Service.
With the Celebrity Traitors just around the corner, Claudia Winkleman will be making her debut with Traitors Prom.
Details about the project are being kept under wraps for now, but The Traitors Prom will air on August 24, at 8pm, on BBC Radio 4.
The festival opens with Petroc Trelawny and Georgia Mann presenting the First Night of the Proms, broadcast that same evening on BBC Two.
Suzy Klein, Head of BBC Arts and Classical Music TV, says “This summer BBC TV audiences will be able to enjoy 25 Proms programmes with nine of them broadcast on BBC One and Two, bringing the excellence and range of this great music festival to the widest possible audience.
“Last year, the Proms reached nearly 13 million viewers and the Last Night was nominated for a Bafta for best live coverage. This season promises to be just as brilliant and wide-ranging, from Aurora Orchestra performing Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony by heart and Klaus Mäkelä conducting Mahler’s Fifth, to Great British Classics, Soul Revolution and The Traitors Prom.
“As ever, our TV presenting team brings their knowledge and passion to the Proms and this year, we welcome Alison Balsom, Nick Mohammed and Claudia Winkleman to the fold for what promises to be another spectacular season.”
