Due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the decision was made to allow the United Kingdom to host the 2023 event, which took place in Liverpool. While it wasn’t a good night for the UK’s entry, Mae Muller, it was a fantastic night for Sweden’s Loreen who earned the country their seventh Eurovision win. With that victory, they tie with Ireland for the most wins in the competition’s history.
Alexander is considered to be one of the UK’s most high-profile entries into the Eurovision Song Contest in recent years; formerly a member of the group Years & Years, who earned two UK number-one albums, his foray into acting saw him in the lead role of the Channel 4 series “It’s A Sin.” His portrayal of Ritchie Tozer earned Alexander nominations for a Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television and the British Academy Television Award for Best Actor.
