When is the Eurovision Song Contest? Where is it taking place? Who are the past winners? Everything you need to know as Mae Muller prepares to represent the UK

The Eurovision Song Contest will make its long-awaited return in May, with the UK set to host for the final for the first time since 1997.

Mae Muller is hoping to go one step better than last year's runner-up Sam Ryder as she represents the United Kingdom in the final on May 13.

She was unveiled as the UK's entry on Thursday with her own single I Wrote A Song after previously touring with Little Mix and performing on Jimmy Fallon.

The UK was invited to host this year's Eurovision after last year's winners Ukraine were unable to present the event due to their ongoing conflict with Russia.
