The BBC has announced that Ncuti Gatwa has pulled out of his presenting role in the Eurovision Grand Final, set to take place this weekend (May 17).
The Doctor Who and Sex Education star was initially scheduled to reveal the results of the UK's National Jury live on the night, but due to "unforeseen circumstances", he will no longer be participating.
In his place, singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor will take on the role of UK spokesperson, a position that has previously been held by stars including Joanna Lumley, Amanda Holden and Catherine Tate, reports the Express.

"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."
Ncuti was unveiled as spokesperson earlier this month, with his role coinciding with the release of a themed Doctor Who episode titled The Interstellar Song Contest.
The statement came moments after the results of the second live Semi Final were announced, with Israel, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Denmark, France, Lithuania, Greece, the UK, Austria, Armenia and Latvia's acts all qualifying for the final show.

"What an honour it is to announce the UK's jury score on such a special show which always puts music front and centre. I am very much looking forward to delivering the iconic douze points from the United Kingdom!"
Reacting to the news, one Eurovision fan predicted that "Sophie will do a grand job", as another shared their hopes that Ncuti was "secretly filming Season 3."
"What a wonderful replacement!" gushed another viewer. "Glad Sophie can step in she will do a great job," penned a fourth.
The Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final will be shown at 8pm on Saturday night (May 7) on BBC One and iPlayer
