Rylan Clark has sent a message to Europe as he posed in front of the venue where the Eurovision Song Contest will take place next year.
The TV personality will host the event, which will take place in Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena on May 13, 2023. The city was chosen after a tough contest saw it finally whittled down to Liverpool or Glasgow.
Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and Sheffield were knocked out of the running earlier in the process.

The UK is hosting Eurovision next year on behalf of Ukraine. Ukraine won the event this year and should be welcoming the world to Kiev in 2023 but sadly this has been deemed not possible because of the illegal Russian invasion. The UK is stepping in after it finished second in this year's contest with artist Sam Ryder.
Rylan Clark will host the event, and he's currently in Liverpool according to his social media posts. Uploading a snap of himself posing outside the arena, Rylan tweeted: "Good evening Europe this is LIVERPOOL CALLING! Getting excited for @Eurovision 2023 x"
Fans were quick to reply, with many making similar comments. Andrew said: "Blimey those rehearsals have started early, while Rob said: "Bit early!" Elaine said: "Hope you have a fab time in our lovely city".
