The UK host city for Eurovision 2023 is set to be revealed tonight, with both Glasgow and Liverpool in the running.
A final decision will be made by the BBC in conjunction with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), with the final two locations having been whittled down from a list of 20 applicants.
It has been through unusual circumstances that the UK has come to be in this position to even have a host city, after finishing as runners-up at the 2022 competition.
Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra beat out Sam Ryder for the top spot, but the EBU decided the show could not be safely held in the country following Russia’s invasion.

Those waiting with nervous anticipation for who will be announced as the host will be able to do so live on TV tonight.
