Sunetra Sarker made a "new best friend" in Rylan Clark as they kicked off the Eurovision Song Contest.
The former Brookside star, from Liverpool, brought viewers the highlights from National Lottery's Big Eurovision Welcome on Sunday outside St George's Hall, hosted by AJ Odudu and Joel Dommett.
As a Eurovision fan who grew up watching the song contest in the 70s and 80s, Sunetra said: "It's amazing to be part of Eurovision history."
