Eurovision has never been a bigger deal to the UK than it is in 2023 - and believe it or not we've won it a fair few times in the past. Last year, following the win of Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra and the second place spot of our own Sam Ryder, it was announced that we would be hosting the Eurovision Song Contest for 2023.
With the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the decision was made for the runners up (us) to host this year's Eurovision Song Contest in the winner's honour, as a somewhat collaboration of the two most successful acts of last year's competition. It was then decided that the host city for this year's event would be Liverpool and, this evening, the torch will be well and truly passed from last year's hosts Italy, beginning the countdown to the final in May.
To kick things off, tonight presenters Rylan and AJ Odudu will host a BBC programme titled Eurovision 2023 Handover and Allocation Draw, but just what does this all mean and how can you get involved?
