Eurovision Week 2023: Semi-Final 1 Reaction

In our series of special Eurovision week episodes, Steven Perkins is joined by show producer Liam Heffernan to recap all of the events from the first semi-final, live from Liverpool. From Alesha Dixon rapping to Hannah Waddingham being Hannah Waddingham and, well, Croatia (IYKYK), Eurovision 2023 has been kicked off in style.

Sweden led the pack in the group of death, as former winner Loreen returns with her song Tattoo, but Finland are hot on their tails. We recap all of the highlights from a night of big performances - not Rita Ora - and take you through all the results and qualifiers as things heat up for Saturday night's Grand Final.
