The Eurovision Song Contest Final has been thrown into chaos this weekend as Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa has dropped out as a UK spokesperson at the last minute due to "unforeseen circumstances". The BBC confirmed yesterday evening that the Rwandan-Scottish actor will now be replaced by BBC Radio 2's Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
The 32-year-old actor, who grew up in Scotland and first rose to fame on Sex Education, had been set to reveal the points awarded by the UK national jury to other contestants during the competition’s grand finale in Basel, Switzerland, on Saturday. The news of his replacement was announced on Thursday, May 15, when the second semi-final took place and the UK act Remember Monday performed for the first time.
‌
A BBC Press Office post on X said: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, unfortunately Ncuti Gatwa is no longer able to participate as Spokesperson during the Grand Final this weekend. However, we are delighted to confirm that BBC Radio 2’s very own Friday night Kitchen Disco Diva Sophie Ellis-Bextor will be presenting the Jury result live from the UK."

Singer Sophie, who is best known for her hit track Murder on the Dancefloor, gushed over her new role.
