Last push for Eurovision as announcement expected imminently

Liverpool is waiting with bated breath to find out if it will host next year's Eurovision Song Contest.

An announcement is expected in the coming days, with the competition to host the showpiece event now down to just Liverpool and Glasgow. The two cities were whittled down from a wider shortlist last month.

Traditionally the song contest is hosted by the country that wins the previous year's event. This year's event was won by Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra but unfortunately it was decided that the ongoing invasion of the country by Russia means it is not safe to host the event there next year.
