'Doctor Who' star Ncuti Gatwa to make key appearance in 'Eurovision' finale

Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa has become the latest star set to announce the jury’s points at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest finale.

According to The Guardian newspaper, Gatwa, who currently plays the titular role in Doctor Who, is set to do the honors at the night of the Eurovision Grand Final. 

He’ll be following in the footsteps of previous stars including Joanna Lumley, Nigella Lawson, and Doctor Who star Catherine Tate.

The Eurovision Grand Final will take place in Switzerland on Saturday May 17. On the same day, Doctor Who will air a Eurovision-themed episode titled Interstellar Song Contest, which will feature a galaxy-wide singing competition.

This year’s favorite to win is Sweden’s KAJ, with the song Bara bada bastu (translated as “Just sauna”).

BBC Eurovision presenters Graham Norton and Rylan will also grace the finale.

“There’s no song contest without the great man himself. It was an honour to welcome Graham Norton to our studios in Cardiff. This is the wildest episode of all, and we’re lucky to have Graham adding to the mayhem,” noted the show executives.
