Eurovision fans were left impressed by Rylan Clark's take on a Scouse accent as he was interviewed live in Liverpool on Tuesday evening.
The presenter was in the city to host the contest's unofficial launch alongside pal and presenting buddy AJ Odudu. Rylan rang in this year's semi-final allocation draw to see which nations will battle it out against each other before the grand final.
Liverpool has officially received the keys to Eurovision after a momentous ceremony in St George's Hall, which was broadcast live on BBC Two.

After the event, Rylan and AJ spoke to journalists live on camera, about what Eurovision fans can expect, and how they feel about it being held in Liverpool.
Asked whether he and AJ could be in the running for hosting the Eurovision Song Contest final, Rylan said: "We are just happy to be out of the house! All announcements for the semi-final and the final, and our entry, will be coming soon... and that is a stock answer."
Odudo said the presenters had enjoyed a night-out in Liverpool after arriving on Monday. Rylan said he couldn't remember where they went but that it was "fun" and they both "ate a lot of meat".
He said: "Everyone's so friendly and just welcomes you, and the fact that we're bringing Ukraine here, I mean the welcome is just going to be absolutely ridiculous". AJ added: "It is brilliant, the music, the culture, everything about Liverpool, and it's such a historic city as well."
Prompted to try saying some Scouse slang, Rylan put on the accent and said: "Boss that, proper boss. I fancy a bit of scran. Do you know anywhere where I can get some boss scran?"
AJ said: "You've got to be careful not to mimic the accent, just say it." In his own accent said: "I'm off for some boss scran, as long as it's heavy".
Fans were loving his performance. John said: "I'm loving Rylan's scouse accent as good as he was on Supermarket Sweep", while Lorraine said: "Rylan is so good". Lauren said: "Not Rylan being a Scouser [cry-laughing emoji]".
