It would be very Britain 2023 to have to delay the contest because the set isn't ready.

I suspect the actual physical build will be relatively quick over the next week or two - it's then the technical fit out which will take the time and some elements of it may overlap with the start of rehearsals, although largely suspect it's just lazy journalism of them seeing the event is in 5-6 weeks so just saying it takes 5 weeks to build. Probably knowing the BBC because if they said it would take 1-2 weeks they'd get complaints they're in the arena so early.
