We’re just days away from the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final, and as thousands descend to descend to Liverpool, all eyes are on those fronting the coverage.

Alesha DixonGraham Norton and Hannah Waddingham have been confirmed to be hosting Saturday’s highly anticipated event, while Mae Muller will be flying the flag for the UK.

Also joining the popular British and Irish TV personalities is Ukrainian singer, composer and Hardkiss band frontwoman Julia Sanina, as the four host the Grand Final.

But who will be presenting for those of us watching at home?

Here’s everything you need to know…

Ukrainian broadcaster Timur Miroshnychenko will be appearing throughout shows and giving commentary from Ukraine’s box straight from Liverpool, as the Eurovision Correspondent.

The 37-year-old TV presenter, who went viral during last year’s song contest after he provided Eurovision commentary for Ukraine while broadcasting live from a bunker, fronted the Opening Ceremony alongside Liverpudlian Sam Quek.

In case you missed it, Mel Giedroyc will be giving us her commentary for the Grand Final straight from the box.

And as well as hosting, Graham will take turns with comedian Mel in the commentary box so audiences watching from home can be treated to his thoughts on the acts the same as every other year.

Meanwhile, Scott Mills and Rylan Clark will be bringing us their thoughts during the live Semi-Finals.

Elsewhere, Brookeside star Claire Sweeney will be presenting BBC Radio Merseyside alongside a special commentary team.

Rylan recently joked that the only bad thing about having the contest in the UK this year is that he will have to be on his best behaviour for the after show celebrations.

‘When we’re in Turin or Tel Aviv and stuff like that, no one knows who we are, we can get away with murder. This year I’ve got to be good,’ he laughed.

‘That’s the only downside,’ said singer-turned-presenter Rylan. ‘I love Liverpool. I love the city.

‘We are so excited and without sounding ridiculously stupid, we feel so welcome here in Liverpool.

After being announced as one of the hosts for this year’s Eurovision, Britain’s Got Talent star Alesha said: ‘I’ve performed all over the world and there is just something about the buzz and anticipation of a live show that can’t be rivalled. Eurovision delivers that excitement, creativity and talent, but on a vast, global scale.

‘I remember watching the Eurovision Song Contest on the TV when I was small, so to be there bringing the Grand Final and Semi Finals to people watching across the world is HUGE.’

Ted Lasso star Hannah said it was a ‘great privilege to be involved: ‘There’s something really special about Eurovision which is why I’ve been an avid fan for years – from the camaraderie of all the acts backstage, to the epic scale of the show.

‘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.’
