Eurovision 2023: Graham Norton & Sam Ryder to reveal winner on BBC One Show - will it be Liverpool or Glasgow?

The city to host Eurovision 2023 will be revealed on the One Show on Friday evening.

It is the fifth time the UK has hosted for another country and the ninth time the country will host the international singing show overall -two more than Ireland in second.

When will Eurovision 2023 host city be announced?

Speaking on the Chris Evans podcast, Graham Norton cautiously explained that himself and last year’s Eurovision runner-up Sam Ryder will be discussing Eurovision 2023.

“Myself and Sam on Friday night, we will be discussing where Eurovision is going to be, on the telly. Because we’ll know by then,” he said,

Chris Evans asked Norton to clarify what he’d just said: ‘So you’re on The One Show tomorrow night, 7 o’clock, and you’re going to be announcing, revealing where …’

Norton timidly interjected that it could be him or Sam who will take care of the announcement.

“I hope this is ok to say. But yes I am. Unless I’m not supposed to say this, and in which case someone else – Sam Ryder will be there opening an envelope”
