Amanda Holden was 'thrown under the bus' by Eurovision Song Contest host Hannah Waddingham, according to BBC viewers. Ted Lasso star Hannah is co-hosting this year's Eurovision alongside Alesha Dixon and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina.
The presenters have been pencilled in to front the two semi-finals with Graham Norton joining them for the grand final on Saturday, 13 May. As they introduced the first live show on Tuesday (May 9), Hannah explained in French the voting rules for the semi-final, reports the ECHO.
She added: "You see Europe, some of us Brits do bother to learn another language." Many viewers at home thought this was a dig at Amanda Holden, who presented the votes for the UK during the Grand Final in 2021.
