Honestly, I was surprised when I found out Graham Norton was still hosting the Eurovision final in 2025 after his shoulder surgery! He’s been the voice of Eurovision for so long that it kind of feels wrong to have anyone else commentate. Graham even joked about his "brand new" shoulder and being on pain meds, but he still showed up for his 16th year. That’s real dedication!

People might wonder why they just don’t bring in someone new, especially with him recovering, but I think a lot of viewers just wouldn’t have Eurovision without Graham’s hilarious comments and jokes. He’s become part of the whole event for people in the UK (and honestly, for me and my family too). I remember last year we all joked that the show wouldn’t be the same if someone else was doing it. His energy makes the boring parts fun and he just knows how to roast the more ridiculous performances without being mean.

So I guess it’s less about not having someone else, and more about how Graham is part of the tradition. Even if he’s got a sore shoulder, people just trust him to make the night even better. It wouldn’t feel right to anyone if he wasn’t there!
