Conchita Wurst will return to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015 as a presenter.

The singer - who won this year's contest with 'Rise Like a Phoenix' - will present coverage from the Green Room in Vienna on Saturday, May 23.

Austrian stars Mirjam Weichselbraun, Alice Tumler and Arabella Kiesbauer have also been confirmed as the main hosts for the ceremony.

Kathrin Zechner, from broadcaster ORF, said: "[Conchita] won the contest with her personality, voice and song for Austria. She did not take the first but the most powerful Austrian step in the fight for self-determination and respect in Europe and the world.

"The slogan of the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna is Building Bridges, which stands for bridges between countries, age groups, tradition and contemporary, supported by the pillars of respect and self-determination.

"For me it is important to make these powerful, society-shaping women visible to an audience of some 200 million Europeans in a show Austria can be proud of."

Last month, Wurst unveiled the music video for her new single 'Heroes', which is her first post-Eurovision release.

Former Eurovision commentator Sir Terry Wogan recently claimed that Wurst turned this year's contest into "a freak show".

Good for her, I hope she's performing as well though.
