Terry Wogan has revealed that he's hosted his last Eurovision Song Contest.

The presenter has fronted the BBC1 coverage of the show since it began in 1973, but says he's finally decided to call it a day.

‘I was considering giving up before Belgrade this year,’ he tells the Radio Times. ‘And I’m very doubtful about wanting to do Eurovision again.

‘It’s time someone else took over.’

In this year’s contest British entry Andy Abraham finished last with just 14 points.
