Many viewers noticed what they thought was a dig at Amanda
Amanda Holden was 'thrown under the bus' by Eurovision Song Contest host Hannah Waddingham, according to BBC viewers. Ted Lasso star Hannah is co-hosting this year's Eurovision alongside Alesha Dixon and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina.
The presenters have been pencilled in to front the two semi-finals with Graham Norton joining them for the grand final on Saturday, 13 May. As they introduced the first live show on Tuesday , Hannah explained in French the voting rules for the semi-final, reports the ECHO. She added: "You see Europe, some of us Brits do bother to learn another language." Many viewers at home thought this was a dig at Amanda Holden, who presented the votes for the UK during the Grand Final in 2021.Amanda famously said: "Bon soir. Goedenavond. That is 'good evening' in French and Dutch although I've got absolutely no idea which is which."
