Hi, Martin here, with your Saturday morning headlines.

First, a man in a hamster wheel, a bearded lady, and twins with

intertwining hair: it's the Eurovision Song Contest tonight, and

to get you in the mood, here's Ayshah with what you can expect.

It's billed as Europe's biggest television show, with more than a

hundred million viewers. Good evening, Europe! The rules are

simple. Each country submits a song. Europe votes. Then points are dished

out. Here are our top three results. The country with the highest total

wins. Just seven countries took part in the first Eurovision in 1956.

This year, there are 37! There are so many countries nowadays that

there are two semifinals. The UK first entered Eurovision in 1957

with this song. It finished in seventh place. We've won the contest

five times before. The last time was in 1997, with this song, Love Shine

A Light by Katrina and the Waves. But since then, things have gone

downhill. We've come bottom of the pile three times. We even scored the

dreaded "nil points" in 2003 with Cry Baby by pop duo Jemini. The

woman hoping to end the UK Eurovision misery is Molly, a

singer-songwriter from Leicestershire. She wrote our entry,

Children Of The Universe, herself. It'd be great to do well. I think

that's all we need, isn't it, I feel, like, for the UK to sort of

have hope that we can win? We just need to do well. So who should we

watch out for this year? Among the favourites are Sweden, who hosted

the show last year. This duo from the Netherlands is tipped to do

well. But the entry that's got everyone talking is Austria's

Conchita Wurst, also known as the Bearded Lady. Watch BBC One tonight

at eight to see who comes out on top.

Next, after weeks of wondering who will step into Sir Bruce Forsyth's

dancing shoes on Strictly, we now know who it'll be. Yep, a familiar

face for Strictly fans, Claudia Winkleman, will join Tess Daly in an

all-female line-up for next season's shows. Claudia already presents the

Sunday evening results show. But do you reckon she's the right choice?

Let us know on our website. Last up, to news of a new royal name

in charge of snorkelling and scuba diving in Britain: Prince William!

He's the new president of the British Sub-Aqua Club and says he

hopes baby George will take up the underwater sport. The Prince says he

wants to help protect marine life and encourage more young people to

take part. That's all from me. I'm back with

more just before midday. See you then.
