The hosts for this year’s Eurovision song contest have been announced by the BBC – and they include an Emmy-winning comic actor. Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham will form part of a presenting trio with Alesha Dixon and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina, and will anchor both the semi-finals and the grand final. For the main event, they will be joined by Graham Norton.
“There’s something really special about Eurovision,” said Waddingham. “It’s one of the world’s greatest music festivals, but this year, perhaps more than ever, it is such a great honour to be standing shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, a country which has carried itself with such strength and unity. It is my great privilege to join Eurovision this year of all years.”
