Graham Norton ...next UK commentator?


Rumour has it that Irish comedian and TV host Graham Norton will be the BBC's replacement for Terry Woagn at next year's ESC.

The two men have quite a bit in common - they are both Irish, they are both popular tv presenters and they have both been involved with Eurovision - Norton being the host of last year's Eurovision Dance Contest, and also the host of this year's event in Glasgow.

Norton is known for his irreverant wit and obviously the BBC see this as an essential part of any Eurovision commentator's brief. Word has it that the BBC will be organising a "glitz and glam" national final next year with Norton at the helm!

Is this a new era for the UK at Eurovision? Time will tell!
