The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 was full of surprises, but one that we might not have seen coming is the popularity of its host - Hannah Waddingham.
Hannah, an English actress best known for playing Rebecca Welton in the comedy series Ted Lasso, presented the show much to the delight of viewers, who took to Twitter in their droves to comment on what a fantastic job she did on the night.
'My main take from Eurovision is that everybody needs a bit of Hannah Waddington in their lives,' wrote one enthusiastic Eurovision fan.
