Sam Ryder has landed a special New Year's Eve show on the BBC
The 'Eurovision Song Contest' star - who finished runner-up with his hit 'Space Man' - will belt out some of his favourite tunes on 'Sam Ryder’s All Star New Year’s Eve', which will air on BBC One and iPlayer.
Revealing the news on 'The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show' on BBC Radio 2 earlier today (22.11.22), he said: "I can’t think of a better way to round off 2022 than singing some of my favourite songs with some very special guests.
"It’s been such an incredible 12 months full of fabulous blessings thanks to fabulous people, and I’m so excited to bring in 2023 with you! As always, thank you for the opportunity!"
Jonathan Rothery, Head of Popular Music TV at the BBC, said: "Sam and his all-star friends performing a party playlist of big songs will be the perfect way to bring in the new year on BBC One."
Sam and his all-star guests, who will be revealed in due course, will party into 2023, after heading live to the banks of the River Thames as London is lit up with the first full fireworks display since 2019.
Mel Balac, Creative Director, BBC Studios Entertainment, added: "Sam will be performing an exclusive set of NYE bangers with some unexpected musical surprises and unique twists along the way.
"Sam’s energy and charisma is off the scale as a performer and it promises to be one heck of a party for BBC One viewers."
