Will Ferrell says his mother is desperate to go to Liverpool to watch Eurovision but has nowhere to stay

The comedy actor, who starred in a 2020 film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, in which he played Icelandic singer Lars Erickssonga, said his mother is desperate to see the song competition in May 2023.
It will be hosted in Liverpool but the hotels are "all booked now".
"We’ll share a room with just two bunk beds, that’s all we need," he said on BBC Radio 2’s The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show.
"My mother really wants me to take her to Eurovision. She’s dying to go and she’s always wanted to go to Liverpool."
Ball then asked anyone who was "willing to put up Will Ferrell and his mum in Liverpool or the Liverpool area during Eurovision" to get in touch.
He jokingly added: "My mum would like that. She would be thrilled... We just need a clean, tidy room."
Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra won the 2022 contest, but the 2023 edition was moved to the UK due to the war in their home country.
It was revealed last month that Liverpool would be the host, which led to Eurovision fans rushing to book hotel accommodations in the city.
Some rooms were advertised for up to £8,000 a night, a move which saw the region’s mayor step in.
The Eurovision semi-finals will take place at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on 9 and 11 May 2023, with the final following on 13 May.
