Graham Norton will once again return for his 13th Eurovision Song Contest on BBC One, where he will be commentating live, while AJ Odudu will be taking the reins of the Eurovision Spokesperson, as she will be delivering the results of the UK professional jury vote live from Salford, for the first time ever.
