Eurovision fever is set to take the UK by storm as Liverpool prepares to stage the europop party.
Cast your mind back to 12 months ago when the Kalush Orchestra landed the spoils for Ukraine with their folk-rap ditty ‘Stefania’ beating out ‘Space Man’ Sam Ryder.
Sadly, due to the Russian invasion, Ukraine is unable to stage the Eurovision Song Contest so the honour has been passed to the UK.
