This year’s Eurovision Song Contest may be held in the UK but there is one face alongside BGT judge Alesha Dixon, 44, and Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham, 48, on hosting duties, that viewers won’t recognise – Julia Sanina.
However, the Ukrainian singer, 32, will need no introduction in her home country as she is a front woman with one of the country’s biggest rock bands, The Hardkiss.
Like fellow host Alesha, Julia was also in the Ukrainian version of Strictly Come Dancing - as well as a judge on Ukraine ’s The X Factor but events back home have meant that she has been thrust onto the global stage.
