Eurovision fans keenly tuned in to Friday’s episode of The One Show to find out which UK city would be hosting the song contest next year - but some eagle-eyed viewers had the revelation spoiled moments before it was announced.
Host Graham Norton was welcomed on to the BBC show to announce which of the two finalists, Glasgow or Liverpool, had been selected as host city. The two cities had made it to the final hurdle after Newcastle was cut from the shortlist along with Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield.
There were huge cheers live from Liverpool as Graham announced that it was the winning city after pulling a card out of a silver envelope, awards ceremony-style. But the host seemingly failed to realise that the winner’s name was actually printed on the back of the card for all viewers to see, The Mirror reports .
