The international music show is being held in the UK after this year's winner, Ukraine, was deemed unable to host because of the Russian invasion.
More than 160 million are expected to watch the competition globally.
Cork native Norton is a Eurovision Song Contest stalwart who has been commentating booth for the UK since 2009. His BAFTA award-winning BBC show, The Graham Norton Show sees him chatting regularly with the world's biggest music stars and Hollywood A-Listers.
Waddingham won an Emmy Award for her role in Ted Lasso, has been nominated for three Olivier Awards and has starred in West End and Broadway musicals.
Sanina was a finalist on Dancing with the Stars in Ukraine and was a judge on X-Factor Ukraine. In 2016, her band, The HARDKISS, took part in the national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest and placed second overall.
She said: "There's something really special about Eurovision which is why I’ve been an avid fan for years – from the camaraderie of all the acts backstage, to the epic scale of the show.
"It’s one of the world’s greatest music festivals, but this year, perhaps more than ever, it is such a great honour to be standing shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, a country which has carried itself with such strength and unity."
Dixon, formerly in chart-topping band, Mis-Teeq - who had two top-ten albums and seven consecutive top-ten singles – is also a hugely successful solo artist. Her TV work includes Comic Relief, The Greatest Dancer, judging Strictly Come Dancing and Britain’s Got Talent.
Dixon said: "I've performed all over the world and there is just something about the buzz and anticipation of a live show that can’t be rivalled. Eurovision delivers that excitement, creativity and talent, but on a vast, global scale.
"I remember watching the Eurovision Song Contest on the TV when I was small, so to be there bringing the Grand Final and Semi Finals to people watching across the world is HUGE."
