Spec7ulation has heightened as to who will represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest this year, after an announcement was made on how to get tickets for the event on Thursday.
While it was the Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra who emerged victorious in Turin last year, due to the conflict in the war torn country, it was decided by the European Broadcasting Union that Ukraine couldn't host this year's event, with the BBC picking up the baton for the UK, after Sam Ryder finished second last May.
Once that news was confirmed, cities across the nation then bid to stage Eurovision 2023 and in the end it was Liverpool who emerged victorious, beating Glasgow in the final reckoning. Liverpool completed its first bit of official Eurovision business last month, with the handover ceremony and semi final draw. And then on Thursday came the news that many fans of the annual event had been waiting for - how to get tickets for Eurovision.
