'Best Eurovision for years' says former Bucks Fizz star Cheryl Baker

Eurovision Song Contest legend Cheryl Baker says last night's show was the best for years.

Cheryl, who won the contest in 1981 with pop foursome Bucks Fizz, was one of millions of viewers who tuned in to last night's extravaganza in Turin, Italy. Though UK singer Sam Ryder topped the leader board after a panel of 40 countries gave their votes, Ukraine's entry won after the public's vote was added on.

Cheryl, who says she is 'still ripping her skirt off' with fellow performers Mike and Jay in the now named Fizz, tweeted: "Wasn’t this the best Eurovision for years? Not just because the brilliant Sam Ryder came 2nd, but it was a show of love, joy, inclusivity and no animosity. If only the world acted like the ESC. It would be a kinder, happier, safer place."
