Ruth Lorenzo will be the spokesperson for Spain at Eurovision 2023.
After nine years, Ruth Lorenzo is returning to Eurovision! The Spanish broadcaster has confirmed that their Eurovision 2014 representative will be reading out the votes of the Spanish jury at the final of Eurovision 2023 on May 13th.
Ruth Lorenzo takes over from Spanish model and television presenter Nieves Álvarez, who has been Spain’s Eurovision spokesperson since 2017.
Although no stranger to the spotlight, the task of delivering your country’s 12 points to a global audience of over 160 million people hits differently, as Ruth explains: “The first thing I asked is: are you sure? It is not the same to do a program that you do pre-recorded to a direct one. So the nerves are different.”
