Eurovision 2023 UK entry: Who is Mae Muller and when is the Eurovision Song Contest?

As a nation, the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest has been a mixed bag over the years, with only a handful of stand-out performances going the distance - such as Bucks Fizz, winners in 1981, Sandie Shaw in 1967, Lulu in 1969 and Katrina and the Waves in 1997 as well as Sam Ryder, who came second last year but whose musical career has absolutely skyrocketed since.

This year, the Eurovision Song Contest is being held in the UK for the first time in 25 years. It'll take place at Liverpool's M&S Arena and is being hosted by the UK on behalf of Ukraine - who won the competition last year.

With this year's entry to the competition being 25-year-old Mae Muller, the UK has high hopes for another success story with her hit song I Wrote A Song, which became the first UK entry in ten years to make the Top 40 singles chart in its first week.
