The days are ticking down to the arrival of one of the biggest spectacles in the world as Liverpool prepares to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2023. All 37 participating countries have confirmed their acts and songs for the competition - but who is representing the United Kingdom?

Eurovision will get underway once the first semi-final kicks off on May 9 with the second taking place just two days later on May 11, building up to the much-anticipated Eurovision Grand Final on May 13. Each event is hosted at the Liverpudlian M&S Bank Arena.

The United Kingdom was awarded Eurovision hosting rights despite not winning last year’s iteration. Sam Ryder finished a close second to Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra, but due to Russia and Vladimir Putin’s invasion of the country, the honour had to be passed on.

Officials at the BBC have had a hard task trying to find a successor to Ryder, but it has since been confirmed that it will be TikTok sensation Mae Muller taking over the mantle. The London-born singer and songwriter will perform ‘I Wrote A Song’ at Eurovision 2023.

Speaking about being the UK entry for Eurovision 2023, Mae Muller said in an interview: “"I’m so excited to participate in Eurovision this year and represent the UK! I’ve loved watching Eurovision all my life, so to compete in such a massive music competition is simply brilliant. I’m a huge fan of so many of the artists that have found success at Eurovision, from ABBA to Måneskin!

“Sam Ryder was so amazing last year and proved the UK can be back on the left-hand side of the leaderboard! I wrote the song ‘I Wrote A Song’ a few months ago when I was going through a hard time and wanted to feel empowered about relationships, so for it to be chosen for this year’s UK Eurovision song is honestly a dream!"
