Which Ride or Die star co-hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in 2023?

Hannah Waddingham co-hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in 2023. She presented the contest’s three live shows in Liverpool alongside Alesha Dixon and Julia Sanina, while Graham Norton joined the presenting team for the final.

The 2023 contest was the 67th Eurovision Song Contest and took place at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on 9, 11, and 13 May. The United Kingdom hosted on behalf of Ukraine after the European Broadcasting Union determined that Ukraine could not safely stage the event following Russia’s invasion.

Waddingham’s Eurovision role showcased a side of her career beyond acting. She is also a singer and experienced West End performer, with credits including Spamalot, Into the Woods, A Little Night Music, and Kiss Me, Kate. Her presenting work followed her global breakthrough as Rebecca Welton in Ted Lasso.

A common mix-up is treating Graham Norton as the sole 2023 host because he joined the final broadcast team. He did not present the semi-finals; Dixon, Sanina, and Waddingham hosted all three shows, with Norton added for the final.
