Blind presenter Lucy Edwards hosts Eurovision description show
By Rakeem OmarBBC WM, Presenter
A blind presenter has launched a new podcast which will include audio descriptions of iconic moments from the Eurovision Song Contest.
Lucy Edwards , from Birmingham, lost her vision 10 Years ago when she was 17.
Since then, She Said she has " missed out" on cultural moments and wanted to describe elements from The Competition for other blind and visually impaired fans.
She hosts Eurovision Described on BBC Sounds with Abi Clarke .
" Ultimately, when you're blind or visually impaired, there's a lot of things online that aren't accessible to you at all, " said Ms Edwards.
" We thought it was really important to bring this podcast to everyone who hasn't seen those moments, has never had those cultural moments described to them. "
Ms Edwards, who has More Than half A Million followers online, is a self-described Eurovision super fan but admitted she has not watched any of this year's competition, hosted in Liverpool, So Far .
" The semi final, my dad always has it on, I'm always like 'don't Show Me ' because I'm so invested in The Final , I don't want the acts to be spoilers, " She Said .
As part of the podcast, she and Ms Clarke have interviewed the likes of Lordi, Bucks Fizz and Scooch and her co-host has described their performances to her.
" I had vision 10 Years back when I saw some of these performances but I'd forgotten, " Ms Edwards said.
" A lot of my visual memory has faded over The Years , so having them described by Abi my co-presenter was amazing, just putting a lot of colour into the performances. "
She Said it was " amazing" to see more televised events, like The Coronation , being audio described to be more inclusive.
" It brings me to tears when live shows are audio described because I haven't had that being blind for The Last 10 Years , " She Said .
" There have been times when I have been Shut Out from major moments. "
For The Final on Friday, Ms Edwards is planning to enjoy The Show with her family, adding her dad normally describes The Action for her.
