From Eurovision in Liverpool to horse racing in Cheltenham... it’s all things live, as we look at the the biggest events and sporting-fixtures of the last year. Alex Zane is joined by Entertainment Editor at Heat Magazine Boyd Hilton and CEO and Exec Producer at television company Nine Lives, Cat Lewis.


Find out how ending a live sports broadcast is even more important as the result, why actress Hannah Waddingham turned into a sought-after live host... and plenty of backstage gossip behind your favourite TV moments of the past year.
