If you're a fan of Eurovision you may want to tune in to BBC Radio 2's Breakfast Show on Friday as the latest update on next year's event will be revealed. The Eurovision 2023 UK city shortlist will be announced during the radio broadcast on August 12, it has been reported.
Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra triumphed at the 66th song contest earlier this year in Italy. But it was confirmed at the end of July, that organisers, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), had made the decision that it wouldn't be possible for Ukraine to host next year.
As the United Kingdom came second in the competition, thanks to Sam Ryder performing his hit "Space Man", the UK was given the chance to host on behalf of the Ukrainian broadcaster, UA: PBC. It will be the ninth time the song contest has been held in the UK.
