Bucks Fizz singers get a piece of the action in BBC Eurovision celebration

Before the contest next month, the BBC has announced that Cheryl Baker - an original member of the group, which won Eurovision for the UK in 1981- will appear in special episodes of EastEnders and Bargain Hunt, while her bandmate Jay Aston will appear in an episode of the quiz show Pointless.

The broadcaster will be airing a cluster of programming throughout the week of the contest, which is being held in Liverpool. BBC Breakfast and The One Show will be broadcasting from the city all week, and Radio 2 will become the "home of Eurovision" for BBC radio.

Baker will guest star in an episode of East Enders, as well as teaming up with Surie, the UK's 2018 entry in the contest, for an episode of Bargain Hunt.
