Graham Norton has been the BBC’s TV commentator for the Eurovision Song Contest since 2009, when he replaced Terry Wogan.
If he was ever to hang up his microphone there wouldn’t be a shortage of applicants to replace him.
Gambling.com’s Entertainment expert, James Leyfield has monitored the situation around Graham Norton and Eurovision and has created a market on who could replace him.
Been There, Done It
If the BBC want a safe pair of hands when they replace Graham one day, then they have quite a few pairs to choose from.
Rylan Clark and Scott Mills are 10/11 co-favourites to step in for Graham, followed by former The Great British Bake Off presenter Mel Giedroyc (6/4).
Hannah To Score Eurovision Role?
Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham is another who could be in contention for the coveted role. She is just 5/2 to replace Graham one day, and is no stranger to Eurovision either.
Alesha is 4/1 to get the commentary nod, but the BBC is more likely to turn to one of their regular hosts in Claudia.
She is just 2/1 to land the job, while comedian Jack Whitehall has an outside chance at 6/1.
Olly’s Dizzy Heights
While Olly Alexander is unlikely to represent the UK in the contest again, there’s a chance he could join the commentary team. The singer and actor is 3/1 to replace Graham, and he is just in front of Dame Joanna Lumley (5/1) in the market.
Other names in the frame include Ant & Dec (7/1), Claire Sweeney (8/1) and Sam Quek (10/1).
