Excitement builds in Merseyside as Liverpool would be "perfect" to host the Eurovision Song Contest next year.
The ECHO previously reported that the Eurovision Song Contest will be hosted in the United Kingdom in 2023 on behalf of Ukraine. The announcement was confirmed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the BBC.
The decision has been made but due to safety and security concerns in Ukraine. Making the UK as the host of the 67th contest and the BBC as host broadcaster.
