Eurovision 2023: Alesha Dixon joins a glamorous Hannah Waddingham for ... trends now

Alesha Dixon and Ted Lasso's Hannah Waddingham brought the glamour to Liverpool on Thursday night for round two of the Eurovision 2023 semi-finals. 

16 acts gathered at the city's M&S Bank Arena to battle it out for a place in Saturday's grand final. 

And the Mis-Teeq singer, 44, and the actress, 48, pulled out all the stops as they strutted onto the stage to present the show, which aired on BBC One, alongside Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina, 32. 

Alesha looked incredible in a strapless black corset dress which featured sheer mesh panelling and a dramatic train. 

Hannah, meanwhile, put on a leggy display in a busty strapless yellow minidress which showcased her hourglass figure. 

Hannah complemented the look with yellow pointed heels. 

Julia, meanwhile, caught the eye in a blue metallic jumpsuit with puffy sleeves and stitching down the legs. 

In a change to the rules this year, the decision of who goes through is entirely down to the public, with national juries being able to have their say during the final on Saturday. 

31 countries will compete in two semi-finals with 10 from each going through to the final.  

Last year's winner Ukraine automatically progressed to the Grand Final, along with the big five, comprising the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain and Italy.
