BBC host Scott Mills issued a passionate put down to Eurovision doubters and told them to 'change the narrative,' after Sam Ryder finished second in Saturday's final.
James Newman had a Eurovision Song Contest result he wanted to quickly forget in 2021, after the Embers singer got zero points from both the juries and voting public. However, going into this year's competition there was real hope for UK's Sam Ryder and his song Space Man, given his massive TikTok following and the amount of promotion he'd bee doing across Europe before Saturday's final.
The 32-year-old's efforts definitely paid off as, after giving an amazing performance of his track Space Man, Sam's Eurovision result saw him finish top of the leaderboard after he jury scores and ending up finishing second to Ukraine after the game changing televotes were added in.
