Eurovision 2016 is nearly upon us, and the person announcing the UK vote at this year's competition is... Richard Osman!

The presenter will be reading out the scores during the event - but will the UK end up Pointless?

Osman spoke about the news on Twitter, saying he was "very excited" to be involved.

Osman is following in the footsteps of Nigella Lawson, who showed off her VERY impressive German, Italian and French skills as scores presenter during Eurovision last year.
