Alesha Dixon exudes joins glam co-host Hannah Waddingham at Eurovision event ahead of final

Alesha Dixon cut a posh figure when she joined her Eurovision co-hosts Hannah Waddingham, Graham Norton and Julia Sanina at a press conference in Liverpool on Friday.

The BGT star, 44, turned heads in a stylish green satin suit just 24 hours before the competition’s grand finale.

Alesha wore an oversized double-breasted blazer that she wore open teasing a hint of her gorgeous figure.

With a radiant makeup palette, the stunner brushed back her raven-black locks and completed the look with gold jewelry.

Meanwhile, Hannah, 48, looked sensational in a chic orange dress that hugged every inch of her beautiful curves.

The sleeveless dress showed off her toned arms and she accentuated her features with a light make-up.

She swept her blonde blocks into a chignon and let locks fall to frame her pretty face.

The hosts showed no sign of nerves on stage as they spoke to the world’s media ahead of Saturday’s final, which is expected to be watched by 180 million viewers.

Elsewhere, actress Claire Sweeney, 52, commenting on the event for BBC Radio Merseyside, told MailOnline that she wishes she had taken part in the Eurovision Song Contest in her youth.

“I look back with a little regret that I never got into it when I was younger…. I feel like I’ve been missing something… I had a song that would’ve been perfect’

She also teased that she would have to “govern” herself as she takes to the airwaves Saturday night.

Admitting: “There are so many things I would like to say. I could be honest, but I don’t know how honest I can be.”

The local girl also gushed about hosting Liverpool, saying it was the ‘perfect place’ for the world famous match.

Further: “I couldn’t be prouder… The city has stepped up. We stand shoulder to shoulder and we include everyone… As they say in the song, all you need is love and that’s what it’s been’.

She also revealed exclusively to MailOnline that she filmed her first scenes in Coronation Street on the same day as the first Eurovision Song Contest semi-final.

“It was the most mental day of my career, and I can’t believe it happened to me at the age of 52… My first day on the cobbles, I couldn’t believe it.”

Claire has been cast as Tyrone Dobb’s birth mother Cassie on the soap with her first scenes airing later this year.

Earlier in the day, Mae Muller looked cheerful when she took the stage during the Eurovision rehearsals.

The UK entry, 25, literally waved her country’s flag as she hopped around while wrapped in the Union Jack.

Mae, who struggled with her voice and was given vocal rest this week, looked back at her best as she practiced her performance.

Speaking of feeling under pressure, the singer said: ‘Sam Ryder wins, hosts on behalf of Ukraine, goes last’.

“These are all things that can drive me crazy. But they’re great experiences, so I’m going to look at them in a positive way. I can’t wait to get out of here, it’s exciting.”

Discussing Liverpool’s performance on behalf of war-torn Ukraine, she said: “Eurovision is proof that we as people can come together and whatever the outcome tomorrow night I will look back on with such a sense of pride.”

Mae looked fabulous in a black jumpsuit complete with a sheer bodice and a pair of heeled boots.

She wore her raven black locks in loose beach waves and opted for a light make-up.

Mae was joined on stage by a choreographer who gave her directions as she rehearsed for the upcoming performance.

Discussing her entry, Mae said, “I wrote the song a few days before I knew about Eurovision.”

She continued, “So I rewatched the song and I put on my Eurovision hat and thought it was a way to connect with the audience. How can I make an intimate moment with 200 million people and stuff’.
