United Kingdom locked in on Eurovision as the competition is set to begin in Liverpool
Fox News
Eurovision is set to begin in Liverpool this week. United Kingdom residents are locked in this year after Sam Ryder's second-place finish last year.
Normally the winner of the previous contest would host the next one, but that winner was Ukraine, and the ongoing war there has made that impossible. So the U.K., as runnerup, is hosting instead.
Singer Rita Ora says Eurovision — the semifinals begin Tuesday and the final is Saturday — has received another lease on life in the U.K.
"The Eurovision is suddenly just (becoming) huge again and I’m really here for it," she said.
