Liverpool is set to host Eurovision 2023, and fans are already excited about the recently announced line-up of hosts. The list includes Rylan, Alesha Dixon, and Hannah Waddingham, who will present the semi-finals along with Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina. The finale will feature the Eurovision staple Graham Norton and Mel Giedroyc as commentators.
The hosts are all well-known personalities in the UK, and fans have already praised the line-up as “truly iconic”. Hannah Waddingham, who recently won an Emmy award for her role in Ted Lasso, expressed her honor in being part of “one of the world’s greatest music festivals”. Alesha Dixon, the former Mis-Teeq singer and a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, also shared her love for Eurovision, praising its “excitement, creativity, and talent”.
This year’s Eurovision is unique in that it is co-produced between UK and Ukrainian talent, with a new logo and slogan that honors Ukraine. The country won the contest last year, but due to the ongoing war, Liverpool will host the event in 2023. Fans are eagerly awaiting the dates for tickets to go on sale, as well as the announcement of the UK’s Eurovision entry.
With such a star-studded line-up and the exciting co-production, Eurovision 2023 is shaping up to be an event to remember.
