Alesha Dixon, Graham Norton, Rylan Clark and musical icon Hannah Waddingham are among the presenters who have been confirmed to front this year's coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest.
While last year's event was won by Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra, it was decided by the Eurovision Broadcasting Union that the nation, given the conflict it has faced over the last year, was not in a position to stage the event; so, after the United Kingdom finished second with Sam Ryder, it was decided that the BBC would pick up the baton.
This year's Eurovision will be a celebration of Ukraine and that is reflected in who will host. Presenting the grand final on Saturday, May 13 will be Eurovision legend Graham, Ukrainian singer and composer Julia Sanina, Emmy Award-winning actress, Hannah Waddingham, and singer-songwriter, pop star and TV presenter, Alesha.
