Who will be the eurovision hosts in Malmö?

According to a Swedish tabloid, Aftonbladet, it was suggested that the comedy duo Filip and Frederik as well as the Melodifestivalen host Gina Dirawi are potential candidates to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2013.

Filip and Frederik are a very well-known comedy duo in Sweden and just recently awarded with the prize of best male television hosts, voted by the Swedish audience.

The prize for best female host went to ... Gina Dirawi.
This makes them one of the candidates to host the shows said Martin Österdahl, the producer of next year's show.

Who it will be is not decided yet, but in a country like Sweden, where the popularity of Eurovision is big, there will be many candidates.
