Richard Madeley has landed in hot water with UK based Eurovision fans, with them accusing him of having an 'ignorant' attitude towards this year's event, just as the show made a glaring error over the Ukraine entry.
Eurovision 2022 gets going on Tuesday with the first semi-final, with the second following on Thursday. Thankfully for United Kingdom entry Sam Ryder,. he won't need to compete in either, as he has a guaranteed place in the Eurovision final on Saturday, along with host nation Italy and 'big 5' countries France, Germany and Spain.
Current Eurovision odds strongly hint that Sam could do rather well with his track Space Man, with some bookies having him as high as second favourite in the betting. That might come as a surprise to casual Eurovision viewers, given that James Newman finished rock bottom last year after receiving no points from either the juries or the public.
