Eurovision 2023 fans complain to BBC as Ukraine act out of sync

Many Eurovision fans have made the same complaint to the BBC as the show was streamed live on Saturday night.

After weeks of build-up, the main event was finally upon us at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena. A huge 26 nations competed to be the winner tonight, with the UK's Mae Muller hoping to come out on top with her hit I Wrote A Song.

Ukraine's act TVORCHI were welcomed ahead of their performance at around 9.40pm.

They were hoping to win the contest with their song Heart of Steel. But many viewers noticed the same problem as the electric duo were introduced to the crowds.

ECHO reporters live at the fanzone at Liverpool's Pier Head noticed the audio was out of sync, while many viewers took to Twitter to make the same complaint.

Tokonatsu said: "Trying to watch #Eurovision2023 on @BBCiPlayer and the audio sync just keeps getting worse! This happening for everyone else #lipsyncbattle #Eurovision #bbcEurovision".

David said: "Such a pity the sound is out of sync", and Simon said: "@BBCOne why is the sound out of sync for Eurovision?"

Nick said: "Any chance a BBC engineer could get the audio and video in sync ... Asking for a nation #Eurovision", while Mike said: "Is it just me or does it look like all the acts so far have been miming? Sync issues?"
