Rita Ora will perform during the interval of the Eurovision Song Contest semi-final, along with other acts. The singer-songwriter, 32, is part of a line-up which includes Liverpudlian soul singer Rebecca Ferguson and former Ukraine representatives at the international music competition such as Alyosha and Mariya Yaremchuk.
The UK, selected to host Eurovision on behalf of 2022 winners Ukraine after the Russian invasion, will host the contest in May at Liverpool ACC. Zlata Dziunka, who came ninth when she competed in Junior Eurovision last year on behalf of Ukraine, and Ukrainian rapper Otoy, will also be performing at the live show.
Kate Phillips, BBC’s director of unscripted, said: “There won’t be a moment to miss during these very entertaining and very tense semi-finals. Good luck to all the countries involved as they compete for a place in what’s going to be an unforgettable grand final.”
