A second wrote: "Don't think l can stand 4 hours of Rylan, Mel is great though, but Graham Norton sounded like he was commenting from the bottom of the Mersey..."

"It’s in Liverpool but the sound department have decided Graham Norton should sound like he’s presenting the Moscow Olympics from 1980," blasted a third.

While a fourth said: "Can't hear a thing Graham Norton is saying."

Me, 54, is standing in for Graham when he has to appear on stage with his fellow presenters, Hannah Waddringham, Julia Sanina and Alesha Dixon.

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

They spoke about how they thought they'd 'never' see the day when the Irish presenter would be on the stage.

Meanwhile, during a link to Loreen's video card before her performance, Norton paid tribute to legendary host Sir Terry Wogan.

The late presenter died in January 2016 following a battle with cancer.

Speaking to viewers at home, Graham said: "I would urge you to raise whatever's in front of you, a glass, a cup, a mug and toast the memory of the late great Sir Terry Wogan.

"The man who was and always will be the voice of Eurovision."
