The UK has been asked to host the Eurovision Song Contest next year after broadcasters have found the contest cannot be held in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian entry of Kalush Orchestra won the competition in Turin, Italy, in May this year and it is tradition that the winning country hosts the event the following year.
However, the The European Broadcasting Union has today ruled that following a 'full assessment and feasibility study' it has been decided that the 'security and operational guarantees' required to host cannot be fulfilled by Ukraine’s public broadcaster UA:PBC.
