Jay-Z and Lily Allen have both been added to the live line-up at The BRIT Awards next month.

It's widely thought that The Jigga Man will perform his collaboration with Alicia Keys at the Earls Court ceremony on February 16, opening up the prospect of special guests.

Allen and Jay-Z join Lady Gaga, Dizzee Rascal, Florence & The Machine, Kasabian, Cheryl Cole, JLS and Robbie Williams performing live at the BRITs.

She will go head-to-head in the latter category with Bat For Lashes, Florence and The Machine, Leona Lewis and Pixie Lott.

Meanwhile, Calvin Harris, Dizzee Rascal, Mika, Paolo Nutini and Robbie Williams are nominated for Best British Male.

Florence And The Machine, Friendly Fires, JLS, La Roux and Pixie Lott are all up for British Breakthrough Act.
