Liverpool to learn Eurovision Song Contest fate as shortlist announced

Liverpool will today learn whether or not it has made the shortlist of UK cities that could host next year's Eurovision Song Contest.

The city officially put its bid forward earlier this week to host the huge event next year. Leading city figures have been campaigning for the city for several weeks.

The world famous song contest will be held somewhere in the UK next year. This is after UK entrant Sam Ryder came second in this year's contest with his song Spaceman. The winners of this year's contest was Ukraine and its rap-folk ban Kalush Orechstra, but it was decided that the ongoing invasion of the country by Russia would make it impossible to hold next year's event there.
