Eurovision star Sam Ryder gets celebrity welcome after landing back in UK

Eurovision star Sam Ryder arrived in the UK to a rapturous crowd of fans.

The 32-year-old TikTok star landed in London after an incredible second-place victory in the famed Eurovision Song Contest in Turin, Italy, at the weekend. Sam beat Spain and Sweden to claim the runner up spot, with a national jury vote of 283 points.

This was the UK's best result in 20 years at the popular annual singing competition. BirminghamLive reports that the singer today told BBC Radio 2: "I don't know just I felt so much, just encouragement and support and love from home. And not just home, but in the Eurovision community in general, because there's so much love, sitting in that arena is like being in a church, it is just incredible.
