Eurovision 2023 - BBC

And to be fair part of his appeal on things like the ALW shows was that he wasn't a Dermot or Tess clone. Not sure whether he falls into the safe pair of hands or a bit of a risk category - I think Graham would either be really good, Petra style, or underwhelming.

Graham was a good host of the ALW shows because it was camp and didn't take itself seriously, plus Graham could also banter with the judges, and he also works well as commentator on Eurovision. However, I have noticed that he has trouble improvising or filling gaps when on his own. I remember when there the You Decide show which Josh Dubovie won, there was a point when the autocue stopped work briefly and Graham floundered a bit not knowing what to do. If he does end up hosting next year's contest, I could see him and Mel being paired up again, as Mel's more than capable of filling gaps if needed.
