Alesha Dixon is already busy as a judge on Britain's Got Talent, A but as a Eurovision superfan, the singer is squeezing the Eurovision Song Contest into her schedule as well.
"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," says Alesha (44), a former singer with Mis-teeq and 2007 Strictly champ.
"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." Alesha is part of a star-studded line-up presenting Britain's first Eurovision since 1998 to the world in lieu of last year's winners Ukraine, who can't host because the country is still at war. As second place last year with Sam Ryder's knockout performance, the UK has stepped in to present the glitter fest from Liverpool to an estimated global audience of 160 million.
Alesha will be part of a hosting trio for the live semi-finals on May 9 and 11, alongside Ukrainian pop star Julia Sanina and Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham. She'll also be part of the line-up for the grand final at Liverpool Arena on May 13.
