The BBC followed the same selection process as last year which led to the success of artist Sam Ryder. The TikTok star’s performance of SPACE MAN in Turin, Italy saw the UK finish second to Ukraine.

The broadcaster has worked with Tap management company to come to the final decision, which has worked with major artists such as Dua Lipa and Ellie Goulding. A reveal that is long awaited, as host nation UK was one of the last competing nations to confirm its song and artist for the 2023 event with the deadline set for March 13.

Excitement for Eurovision 2023 is building and it saw tickets for the May showcase completely sell out in less than 90 minutes earlier this week. It followed various issues with Ticketmaster and organisers issuing scam warnings.
