Sam Ryder predicts Eurovision UK host city for 2023 and it's bad news for Newcastle

Sam Ryder has given his prediction on who will get to hair the Eurovision Song Contest next year and his verdict is bad news for Newcastle.

It’s down to TikTok star Sam’s exploits in Turin in May that the UK is being given the opportunity to stage the world famous event in 2023. He finished second to Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra with his anthemic song Spaceman, and, after topping the jury vote, was beaten to victory after the public flee vote was factored in.

However, given the conflict that has gone in Ukraine this year, it has been decided that the war torn country won’t host Eurovision next year and instead, the BBC will take it on for the UK.
