Who will host or co-host Eurovision 2023 in the United Kingdom?

[@linzimcmaster5717]

I think you and deban would make good hosts, understand the contest the timing. You guys have worked with delegations and countries before and love the contest more than anyone. ❤

[@PopUnlimited]

Terry managed to host and commentate because he basically just did the beginning and the end, with Ulrika doing most of the show by herself

[@eggpiss269]

I think it should and will be Manchester. It has its own international airport, but you can easily reach Manchester by flying into LBA, DSA, LPL, EMA and BHX. It has plenty of hotels more than enough for delegations and guests alike. The arena seats 21,000 which is the biggest capacity from all the shortlisted cities. And the city centre isnt too big and we have cheap and exceptional transport links. And regarding hosts, we should have 2 Ukrainian and 2 British. I'd personally love Graham Norton Mel Giedroyc Andriy Shevchenko Kateryna Pavlenko

Graham, while commentating, could also be the voiceover in the grand final at the opening, right before the flag parade, greeting the audience with "LIVE from [host city name], United Kingdom, on behalf of Ukraine, this is [or "welcome to"] the Grand Final of (the) Eurovision Song Contest 2023".

I think Gary Barlow would make a wonderful host. He organised the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert back in 2012 (and travelled the entire Commonwealth while at it) and he’s a great entertainer. He’s been performing on a stage for three decades, he’s charismatic, articulate and witty. He’s done live TV as an X Factor judge… the list goes on. He truly is a credit to his country and hosting the ESC would somehow make justice to his unfairly underestimated talent.

My Ideal hosts for the UK next year Venue & Host City: Manchester Arena (AO Arena) Hosts Davina McCall, Alan Carr, Timur Miroshnychenko and Mila Kunis. Online Host and "Red Carpet": Sam Ryder Davina & Mila could be your main principal hosts as they are the most famous and have the most significant pull but are also the most experienced in hosting. Davina is most famous for Big Brother UK (2000-2010), The Million Pound Drop and Long Lost Families so she can deal with a wide range of audience-influenced situations and reactions. Mila, who is a very famous face known for voicing Meg Griffin in Family Guy since 1999 and playing Jackie Burkhart in That's 70's Show (1998-2006) has been a lead actress in several hit films. She is also Ukrainian by birth and grew up in Ukraine when it was a part of the USSR, it will give not only a more interpersonal take on the hosting for Mila but, it will also celebrate Ukrainians far and wide that are not just based in the Mainland. Timur, being your Eurovision veteran host will bring a sense of order to the contest and given his infamous commentary of the prior competition from a bomb shelter, he has more than earned it and I could switch Mila for Timur as principal host but, I do feel Mila & Davina will work better together. Alan, a comedy/stand-up icon in the UK and very personable and approachable, is the ideal candidate for Green Room as he can make someone feel at ease very quickly, and in a pressure cooker like Eurovision that is who you need in the Green Room. Sam Ryder being your Online Host, in a similar vein to what NikkieTutorials did in Rotterdam; fits him to a T, he has the experience of being a former contestant and being so approachable and welcoming that in turn will work in spades when he is interviewing the Class of 2023 as the online host.
