Rick Astley has been named as a surprise nominee for the one-off Best Act Ever gong in this year's MTV Europe Music Awards.

The '80s singer will be up against Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Green Day, Tokio Hotel and U2 in the category.

An internet craze named 'Rickrolling' saw Astley's hit 'Never Gonna Give You Up' register more than 13 million YouTube views earlier this year. The phenomenon saw fans posting a link to the track disguised as something else on their websites.

Madonna, Snoop Dogg, Weezer, Santogold and 30 Seconds To Mars are up for the video star award, MTV has also announced.

The awards will take place at the Liverpool Echo Arena on November 6, with Beyoncé confirmed to perform.

Katy Perry will host next month's MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool.

The 'I Kissed A Girl' singer will front the ceremony, which takes place at the Echo Arena on November 6.

Perry, who will perform musical interludes at the event with her band, is also nominated for two gongs including Best New Act and Most Addictive Track.

MTV EMA executive producer Richard Godfrey said the Californian musician was a "perfect" choice to helm the show.

Perry commented: "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!"

Awards presenters at the event will include Solange Knowles, Sugababes and Grace Jones.
