The world’s biggest singing competition kicks off at 8pm on BBC One tonight with Graham Norton helming the commentary for Eurovision 2018.
He is taking over from radio presenter Scott Mills and This Morning host Rylan Clark-Neal after they dutifully hosted both semi-final instalments earlier this week.
It’s been a painstaking process to cut down the best finalists from a total of 43 acts in the competition, and now only the favourites remain.
These include Cyprus’s sizzling entry Fuego with singer Eleni Foureira and the highly unusual song TOY for Israel, which is sung by Netta.
Both are hot favourites to nab the winner’s trophy following tonight’s show, and have been throughout the lead-up to the final.
The UK’s entry is the electrifying SuRie, whose real name is Susanna Marie Cork.
The 29-year-old singer is performing a powerful song called Storm in the competition tonight, but it may not help her chances of winning.
The UK are currently bottom in the bookies’ odds to win the Eurovision Song Competition, but there may still be surprises to come.
So far the excitement has been building up to fever pitch in Lisbon, Portugal this week, as fans and contestants alike have been preparing for the grand finale.
There have already been hints at what to watch out for too – including Finland singer Saara Alto’s firework gun as well as all the couples’ sharing the love on-stage.
