The amazing Sam Ryder joined Saturday Mornings with Fleur East on Hits Radio. We asked him all things Eurovision, including which city he thought would be chosen to host it in 2023, about his new single 'Somebody' and much, much more.

Sam joined us the day after he released his new track 'Somebody'. The singer has been teasing the new song on his socials, so we couldn't wait to play it and hear more about the song. In some of the videos Sam's given fans a glimpse at the music video, which features stunt doubles doing some incredible moves.

'Somebody' is the follow-up to Sam's Eurovision entry 'Space Man', which was also a big success outside from the singing competition.

Since coming second to Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest, Sam has performed as part of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations, announced this new tour 'There's Nothing But Space, Man!', and announced a collaboration with Eurovision winners Kalush Orchestra.
