As the UK is hosting Eurovision 2023, it is expected more people around the country will be tuning in to watch our very own Mae Muller take on the other finalists on Saturday.

We spoke to local people in Manchester to find out what they think about Eurovision, whether they are planning on watching this year, and who they hope to win.
