The Eurovision Song Contest could be held in the UK next year.

Usually, the winning country hosts the competition the next year.

It's over the Russian invasion of the country.

Instead, talks are taking place with the BBC to host the singing contest in Britain.

Glasgow, London and Manchester are some of the cities already vying to host the Eurovision Song Contest if it goes to the UK next year.

Sam Ryder, representing the UK came in second this year.

However, the British Prime minister has said that Ukraine deserve to host the competition.

"Of course I would love it to be in this country but the fact is they won and they deserve to have it and I believe they can have it and I believe that they should have it," he said.

"I believe that Kyiv or any other safe Ukrainian city would be a fantastic place to have it," he added.

"It is a year away, it is going to be fine by the time the Eurovision Song Contest comes round and I hope the Ukrainians get it."
