He's been commentating on the show since 2009 but he's now co-hosting with a Hannah Waddringham, Julia Sanina and Alesha Dixon in front of the home crowd.

And fans at home couldn't help but become emotional as they watched Graham open the show.

Taking to social media, one said: "Wow, I really never thought I'd see the day Graham would be on stage a bit emosh."

A second said: "For viewers around the world that don't know, Graham Norton is hosting AND being a commentator tonight, really impressive."

"It's actually quite lovely having Graham both presenting and commentating because he gets to be all sweet and polite on stage and then gossip with the rest of us in his commentary box," said a third.

While a fourth said: "So chuffed Graham Norton got his moment on the stage."

The Irish presenter is double-jobbing as he commentates and presents during the show.

Mae Muller is hoping to scoop the crown tonight for the UK with her entry I Wrote A Song.

The 25-year-old has received a number of good luck video messages from famous faces ahead of her performance.

However, it seems Mae may need all the luck she can get as the bookies predict a heavy loss for the UK.

Mae's chances of winning have plummeted in recent hours from 40/1 to 60/1, says .

Odds are even at 50/1 for her to get 'nul points' after her predecessor Sam Ryder finished in second place last year.

The UK has received “nul points” or "nil points" twice.
