It has been confirmed that the UK will be hosting next year's Eurovision song contest.
The European Broadcast Union and the BBC have both said the UK will take over hosting the contest, replacing Ukraine. Speaking on Twitter, the BBC said: "It is a matter of great regret that our colleagues and friends in Ukraine are not able to host the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest.
"Being asked to host the largest and most complex music competition in the world is a great privilege. The BBC is committed to making the event a true reflection of Ukrainian culture alongside showcasing the diversity of British music and creativity.
