will be sipping bubbly in Lisbon when he presents the Eurovision final in May, but the legendary Ken Bruce is not so lucky. ‘I’m delighted to be fronting my 31st Eurovision for Radio 2 and look forward to presenting my radio coverage from a sundrenched Portuguese cabana — but more likely two square feet of airless garden shed,’ he says. ‘That’s showbiz, though!’ Thoughtfully, the organisers are staging the final on May 12, a week before the Royal Wedding, should Graham and Ken be invited.
