According to the latest odds, Glasgow is the city most likely to host the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest.
It was announced earlier this year that the UK would host the singing competition instead of last year's winner Ukraine. Due to the ongoing war with Russia, Ukraine will be unable to hold the event.
Since then, a number of cities across the UK were revealed to be in contention. Glasgow, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, and Sheffield were all on the shortlist.
