After 25 years away, the Eurovision Song Contest is back in the UK – and while it's hosting on behalf of Ukraine, the BBC is teaming up with last year's winning country to deliver a competition that celebrates Ukraine in the most British way possible.

Hosted by Britain's Got Talent's Alesha Dixon, Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina, while Graham Norton is back on commentating duty, the 2023 competition will see 37 acts descend on Liverpool in the hopes of winning this year's title, starting tonight (Tuesday 9th May) with the first 2023 semi-final.

The international singing competition is now into its 67th year, growing from just 14 countries taking part back in 1956 to more than double that number taking to the stage this year – and over the last seven decades, Radio Times magazine has marked the occasion with some iconic covers.

From the UK's second-ever winner Lulu to long-time BBC commentator Sir Terry Wogan, Radio Times has featured numerous Eurovision icons on its cover over the years, including Wogan's successor Norton – who has been the voice of Eurovision in the UK for the last 14 years.
