There can surely be no better tour guide to Liverpool than Sonia. As the bubbly singer and West End star takes hello! around the most famous places in her native city, there is a special atmosphere on the streets ahead of a few very exciting weeks for Merseyside.
The 2023 Eurovision final is taking place in the Liverpool M&S Bank Arena on 13 May – and for the 52-year-old entertainer, it’s a dream come true. This year marks the 30th anniversary of her coming second in the legendary competition, representing the UK, and she has always wanted the show to be staged in her home town.
