The BBC has revealed its Eurovision coverage across television, radio and online.
Presenter Graham Norton will anchor BBC1’s live broadcast of the song contest, which will be held in Rotterdam on May 22.
The event will also be broadcast on Radio 2 in a programme hosted by veteran DJ Ken Bruce.
The semi-finals will be screened on BBC4 on May 18 and 20, hosted by presenters Rylan Clark-Neal and Scott Mills and singer Chelcee Grimes.
A documentary on singer-songwriter James Newman, the UK entry for this year’s competition with his song, Embers, and his preparations for the contest, titled Eurovision 2021: The Road To Rotterdam will also become available on BBC iPlayer on May 17.
The BBC’s director of entertainment, Kate Phillips, said: “Eurovision is coming back with a boom and a bang to the BBC.
“After a year without the live contest, we can’t wait for it to return, bigger and better.
“We will be celebrating Eurovision across the BBC on all our platforms.”
Last year’s Eurovision was cancelled due to the pandemic. Duncan Laurence won for the Netherlands in 2019 with his song Arcade. The UK last triumphed in 1997 with Katrina and the Waves’ Love Shine A Light.
