Rylan Clark records a cameo on The Archers to tie in with this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

Rylan Clark has recorded a guest role on Radio 4's The Archers to coincide with this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

The presenter will co-host the BBC's coverage of the semi-finals in Liverpool on May 9 and May 11 alongside Scott Mills, with the grand final taking place two days later on May 13.

In the episode of The Archers being broadcast on May 12, Rylan will arrive in Ambridge en route to Liverpool to judge the village's Eurovision Variety Show, but things soon go awry.

"I'm looking forward to getting my wellies on and checking out what Eurovision excitement Ambridge's residents have to offer as I pop into the iconic Archers," said Clark.

"I've seen some drama throughout my time but nothing compares to what's about to unfold in Ambridge."

Jeremy Howe, the show's editor, added: "We're delighted to have Rylan stop over in Ambridge for his Archers radio debut. It's been a real treat welcoming him to the programme and it's certainly brought Eurovision fever pitch to new heights."

The special episode of The Archers will air on Radio 4 at 2pm on Friday, May 12.
