BBC The One Show returned to our screens on Tuesday night, with hosts Ronan Keating and Alex Jones at the helm.
In the special episode, the programme went live to Liverpool as the mayor of Turin, Stefano Lo Russo, officially hands over the Eurovision Song Contest keys, which will be welcomed by Liverpool's mayor, Joanne Anderson.
Liverpool was announced as host city after the UK came second in the 2022 competition. Ukraine won the event this year and should be welcoming the world to Kiev in 2023 but sadly this has been deemed not possible because of the Russian invasion.

The UK will instead host on its behalf, and Liverpool was chosen as the best place for it following a list of potential cities being announced last year.
As Tuesday's The One Show got underway, Alex turned to her co-host and said: "Now then, you've hosted Eurovision, my goodness. He even wrote a song for Denmark, there's a Ronan Keating fact you didn't know."
She continued: "So, how big is this for Liverpool?" Ronan replied: "Oh this is huge. I mean, prepare yourselves. Everyone is coming to town".
