EUROVISION enthusiasts in St Helens now have the chance to take part in the coverage of the song contest.

BBC Radio Merseyside's Voices of Eurovision is giving die-hard fans the opportunity to commentate on the night of the music competition's grand final.

The radio station is looking for someone to join its broadcast team in covering the contest, which is hosted in Liverpool this year, to help offer a locally charged commentary.

The commentary will be delivered until the interval act, not during the voting.
