BBC's Graham Norton issues Eurovision 'trigger' warning over Finland performance

Graham Norton sent a warning to frightened Eurovision viewers ahead of Finland's performance as he commentated the show on Saturday night.

After last year's dismal outcome, which saw UK entry James Newman finished at the foot of the leaderboard, with absolutely nothing from either the juries or the televote. Ahead of this year's Eurovision Song Contest there was definitely a lot more optimism from the United Kingdom camp, which started as soon as Sam was announced as this year's representative back in March.

But before Sam took to the stage to perform Space Man, in 22nd spot on the Eurovision final running order, there were plenty of other acts who took their turn in the spotlight and one of the earliest to make their bid to win was The Rasmus. The group are well known in the UK for their early 00s smash hit In The Shadows and earned their spot in the final after making it through the second semi final, having opened the heat on Thursday night.
