BBC viewers point out savage Amanda Holden 'dig' made by Eurovision host Hannah Waddingham

The Eurovision Song Contest kicked off on Tuesday night (May 9) with its first live show in Liverpool. The annual competition is being held in the UK on behalf of last year's winners Ukraine after Sam Ryder took second place in the 2022 competition.

This year, Mae Muller will represent the UK in the hopes that her track I Wrote A Song will become the first win for Britain since Katrina and the Waves took the crown in 1997.

During the semi-finals, which took place at Liverpool Arena last night, views of the BBC live show picked up on a savage 'dig' made at Amanda Holden by co-host Hannah Waddingham. The Ted Lasso star is co-hosting alongside Alesha Dixon and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina with Graham Norton joining them for the grand final on Saturday, May 13.
