Interview with Sam Ryder (United Kingdom 2022):  In recent weeks, in Eurovision circles, the United Kingdom was much in the news in regards to hosting the Eurovision Song Contest 2023. Ukraine won the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 and normally, the winning country also becomes the host country the following year. Due to the war in Ukraine, the EBU together with the BBC decided to host Eurovision 2023 with the participation of Ukrainian television. Now the race is on to find the most suitable British city to host Eurovision 2023. Also no date has been announced as yet. So all is very excited.

Sam Ryder is on the show this week and tells us about his time at Eurovision 2022 as well as his reception back home in the United Kingdom when he returned from sunny Turino. Sam represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Copntest 2023 with the song "Spaceman" coming second to the Kalush Orchestra from Ukraine. This interview is courtesy of RTL.
