The UK could host next year's Eurovision Song Contest after Ukraine was ruled out, the European Broadcasting Union has announced
A spokesperson for Number 10 welcomed the possibility of the UK hosting the competition, pledging it would"overwhelmingly reflect Ukraine's rich culture, heritage and creativity."
"If the EBU decides the competition can't go ahead in Ukraine we would of course welcome the opportunity to work closely with Ukraine and the BBC to host it here in the UK. When asked if the government would help with the costs, the spokesperson said"we're slightly getting ahead of ourselves in terms of the process".
Ryder received full points from the Ukrainian jury and Ukraine received full points from the British public vote.
