The UK has narrowly lost out in the Eurovision song contest this evening. Sam Ryder took to the stage with an upbeat performance of his uplifting pop song Space Man.
The 32-year-old Tik Tok star was one of 25 acts vying for the top prize during the climax of the week-long contest in Turin, Italy. And after the jury results, his act was leading the way with 283 points, 25 ahead of nearest rivals Sweden and grabbing a host of 12 points from across Europe. But Ukraine won a massive 439 points in the public vote and 631 points overall to claim the title.
The UK came second with 466 points, with Spain finishing on 459 and Sweden on 438.
