Eurovision 2023 takes place in Liverpool tonight and we've got you covered for all the memes that you are going to need. This year's contest is taking place in the UK as last year's winners, Ukraine are unable to host due to the illegal invasion of their country by Russia and the ongoing war between the two nations. Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky has been prevented from speaking at the grand final but reigning champions Kalush Orchestra believes he would have wanted to. Tymofii Muzychuk, a piper who forms part of the seven-piece, told the PA news agency: “Actually we think that President Zelensky would have wanted to thank all the British people for doing this and, as we can see, Britain took this very responsibly, the UK. And so actually I think it would have been nice for him to talk.” Elsewhere, UK entry Mae Muller has received messages of support from the world of politics, as Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said “we’re all cheering you on”. “Good luck to (Mae Muller) a Kentish Town local, at @Eurovision tonight!” Sir Keir tweeted. “We’re all cheering you on.” Labour Mayor of London Sadiq Khan tweeted: “Tonight we’re rooting for our fellow Londoner Mae Muller in the #Eurovision final.” As the tension mounts, here's how the UK is preparing for the night's activities. Yes, that was Kate Middleton in the intro. Piers Morgan is not in the spirit of things. Lots of love for Austria's inspired Edgar Allen Poe song. Not vibing Switzerland. Not quite sure what Serbia was going for. We've seen that France entry somewhere before. Cyprus's entry turned heads for all the right reasons. Sorry Spain, it's a no. The bookies favourite Sweden put on a strong effort especcialy when they looked like something from a movie. Are we feeling the family vibe from Albania? Graham Norton perfectly summed up Italy's song Finland and Estonia could not have been more different. Finland never fails to produce absolute bangers. Czechia? We're all for it just watch the hair. Always gotta consult the meme when Australia pop up. Belgium's hat for the win. Armenia submitted an Ariana Grande knockoff by the looks of it. Moldova, yeah...you do you. Ukraine should probably win again. Additional reporting from PA. Have your say in our news democracy.

Dua Lipa was left baffled during a promotional interview for her new song, when the interviewer got Houdini mixed up with someone from the Bible. Appearing on Italian radio station RDS, the singer was asked whether she was asked if she had ever 'read the biblical story'. “Well, I mean, Houdini was a real person", she awkwardly responded. Quickly moving on from the situation, she described how she was 'always very fascinated by magic, fantasy, and how that can be brought into reality'. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter
