The Eurovision final will be held on Saturday April 13, 2023 in Liverpool. For the occasion, a quartet of British presenters has been chosen. Among them, there is in particular the actress Hannah Waddingham, who caused a sensation during the semi-finals.
Eurovision 2023 will punctuate the evening for France 2 viewers, Saturday April 13, 2023. Twenty countries will compete for the title of winner during the international singing competition, which is held this year in liverpool. For the occasion, the evening will be hosted by four British stars: singer Julia Sanina, singer Alesha Dixon, presenter Graham Norton and actress Hannah Waddingham.
And it is the latter who already promises to be talked about on the Eurovision scene. First of all, because she is far from unknown to the public: some viewers have certainly already seen her in the American comedy series Ted Lasso, in which she plays the character of Rebbeca Welton, owner of the football club AFC Richmond. For this role, she won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Previously, she made appearances in eight episodes of Game Of Thrones as Septa Unella, and had a small role in Sex Education.
But it is not only for her television career that Hannah Waddingham promises to be talked about during Eurovision. The 48-year-old British actress caused a sensation during the first semi-final of the competition on Tuesday, May 9. She particularly charmed viewers with her infectious enthusiasm, but also with her singing talents, giving a piercing rocker cry.
For some Internet users, the actress even “stole the show” from the candidates. Others have already demanded that she present Eurovision next year. Hannah Waddingham has proven her singing skills in the past, whether in the musical Into the Woods or in the series Ted Lasso where she notably interpreted the song of Snow Queen, “Let it go”. Her mother is an opera singer, as are her maternal grandparents.
