The Eurovision Song Contest will be styled as “Ukraine’s party in our house”, if Leeds’ bid to host the competition next year is successful.
The contest will be held in the UK for the first time in a quarter of a century next year, with Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield joining Leeds on the six-strong shortlist of potential host cities.
Ukraine would have held the competition themselves, as this year’s Eurovision winners, but are unable to do so because of the Russian invasion.
