Eurovision winners Kalush Orchestra's fond words to Liverpool after host announcement

Last year's winners of the Eurovision Song Contest have shared a heart warming message after Liverpool was named as the host city for next year's competition.

Tonight Graham Norton announced on The One Show that Liverpool will welcome the huge international event next May. Liverpool was whittled down to the final two potential host cities along with Glasgow, beating off competition from the likes of Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham earlier in the process.

The UK is hosting Eurovision next year on behalf of Ukraine. Ukraine won the event this year and should be welcoming the world to Kiev in 2023 but sadly this has been deemed not possible because of the Russian invasion. The UK is stepping in after it finished second in this year's contest with artist Sam Ryder.
