Liverpool will learn today whether it will be the host of next year's Eurovision.
The competition to host the showpiece event is down to just Liverpool and Glasgow. Traditionally the country which won the previous year are the ones to host the next.
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. A decision was made for the UK to host after its entrant Sam Ryder came second in this year's contest.

Now Glasgow is the only city which stands in Liverpool's way. The cities were selected after Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield and Manchester were removed from the list to host the music event.
It will also only be a couple of hours until Liverpool learns its fate. The big reveal will be announced on BBC One's The One Show today between 7pm to 7.30pm.
Presenter Graham Norton revealed the the information after speaking on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show. Graham said: “Myself and Sam [Ryder] on Friday night will be discussing where Eurovision is going to be – on the telly.
“We’ll know by then, we’ll know by then.”
When asked if he is going to be revealing where the event will be held on The One Show, Graham said: “I hope this is OK to say but yes I am.”
The news comes after weeks of campaigning, including a final push from Merseyside leaders. On Wednesday Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson and Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram wrote to the government's Arts Minister Stuart Andrew, urging him to back the city's imaginative and spectacular bid.
If Liverpool wins the competition, the council has promised it will prioritise Ukrainian culture within its programme. The city has already released some details of its planned cultural programme, which would begin months before the actual song contest next May.
At the core of this will be a major programme of artist exchange and co-production between Ukrainian and Liverpool-based artists. Working specifically with its sister city Odesa and their creative community, Liverpool's bid aims to 'deliver an extraordinary celebration of Ukrainian culture' that will shine a spotlight on the country and also create a major community outreach programme across the city.
