For nearly 40 years, Sir Terry Wogan's pithy commentary and delightfully funny comments poking fun was one of the main reasons for tuning into Eurovision.
Which is one of the many reasons why, on the eve of the 2023 contest coming from Liverpool, presenter Lorraine had a subtle tribute to him in the studio during her ITV show on Friday, May 12.
The first part of her morning programme was dedicated to the contest with a live piece from roving reporter Tyler West and an interview with A1 star Ben Adams who has been 'exposed' as one of Norway's Eurovision contestants from last year. And on the table beside her was a framed photograph of the famed Irish presenter who commentated on the show from 1971 to 2008. They also played a clip of when Lorraine delivered the British vote, giving 12 points to....Ireland.
