Katy Perry will host the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards live from Liverpool next month.

The “I Kissed A Girl” singer has been tapped to front the ceremony at the Echo Arena on November 6.

Katy is the “perfect” choice to host this year’s show, says MTV EMA executive producer Richard Godfrey.

Katy couldn’t be happier to be hosting one of Music Television’s biggest nights.

“I was so excited when I heard that I was nominated for two awards, but when I was asked to host the show I wet myself, Fergie-style!”

“To follow in the footsteps of previous hosts Christina Aguilera, Tom Jones, P. Diddy and Snoop Dogg at this prestigious event is an incredible honour – do they know what they are getting into? I just hope that I don’t spill my cocktail!”
