"In Turin [in 2022], the organisation was not so great. So no problem at all. We love it." Liverpool has said it is hosting the show on behalf of Ukraine. "We consider your country and your people as our friends so we believe we can share this event," Serhii says.
But this year they have come to Liverpool. "We love Eurovision," Michelle says. "We have always been Eurovision fans. She wasn't a huge fan of the contest before. "My husband and son and one of my daughters always watch it together.But now David Jr has reached the contest's stage, she is a lot more interested. "Definitely," she says, with the country's flag draped around her shoulders.
