Eurovision fever has finally returned, with Graham Norton set to reprise his role as the UK’s commentator.<\/p>\n
Legions of fans will be waiting for his unmatched critique – and also one very special Eurovision tradition.<\/p>\n
As is now customary, Graham pauses momentarily to raise a glass to Sir Terry Wogan during song nine and asks fans across Britain to join him.<\/p>\n
Sir Terry was the British voice of the Eurovision Song Contest from 1971 until he passed the baton to Graham in 2009.<\/p>\n
Graham previously said: “For those who aren\u2019t aware, song number nine is famous because Sir Terry always warned me not to have anything to drink until that point.”<\/p>\n
In 2024, he briefly paused his commentary to pay tribute to Sir Terry, honouring him as the ‘man who always was and always will be the real voice of Eurovision’.<\/p>\n
