British Eurovision star lands own TV show and is labelled ‘hot property’
EUROVISION host Hannah Waddingham was such a hit fronting last Saturday’s ceremony she has landed her own show.
She’s been given the chance to show off her singing by recording a Christmas special for AppleTV+, home of her other show Ted Lasso.
The special, called Hannah Waddingham: Home For Christmas, will be filmed at London’s Coliseum this month in front of an audience.
A TV insider says: “Hannah is hot property at the moment.
“She’s always had her big supporters but since Eurovision, her status has rocketed.
“It’s likely this will be the first of many big gigs she will receive off the back of her impressive hosting alongside Graham Norton.”
Hannah, who’s starred in West End shows including The Wizard of Oz, is also featuring in new ITVX drama Tom Jones as Lady Bellaston.
Eurovision host Hannah Waddingham was forced to tell the crowd to stop booing after San Marino’s jury spokesperson made a dig at her and Graham live on air.
The Liverpool crowd had host Hannah’s back after the guest presenter attempted to make a gag at the hosts expense that seemed to fall flat with the watching audience.
As Hannah and Graham Norton crossed over to Eurovision’s smallest country San Marino, the hosts were left stunned at what he had to say.
Speaking live, he said: “To our wonderful hosts, what a couple, a great pair of bobby dazzlers.
“Even, actually, got to say, liking the beard!
“And Graham, you look great too!”
