The programme will also see the Mayor of 2022 host city Turin, Stefano Lo Russo hand over the official keys of the Eurovision Song Contest, known as the Insignia, to the Mayor of Liverpool, Joanne Anderson and will be the night the 2023 Contest’s unique look and slogan is unveiled.
The semi-finals on 9 and 11 May will see 31 competitors whittled down to 20 acts by the public – in a change to the rules – ahead of the grand final on 13 May.
Sharing the news on Instagram earlier this month, Rylan simply said: “Let’s get @eurovision 2023 started.”
He also posted a graphic of himself and AJ superimposed onto a background featuring Liverpool’s Albert Dock.
Fans were clearly loving the partnership as Sadie said: “Oof, dream team!”, while Charlotte said: “Can’t wait”, and Kate said: “What a great team”.
