How long does Eurovision last? Fans bracing themselves for epic final

The day is here, after 12 months of waiting and a week of semi finals and rehearsals, the final of the Eurovision Song Contest is taking place in Italy on Saturday night.

Still one of the world's most watched music events, Eurovision has had a tough few years due to the coronavirus pandemic. It was cancelld completely in 2020, with a televised virtual celebration taking its place, before a delayed contest in Rotterdam last year welcomed a reduced crowd, with restrictions still in place.

Eurovision 2022 has seen a return to the event that we're all used to and on Saturday, May 14, we'll crown another winner as 25 countries do battle for the crown in Turin. The Eurovision final odds are still pointing to a Ukraine victory, but the UK's Sam Ryder, Norway's Subwoolfer, host nation Italy, Serbia's entry Konstrakta who sang about Meghan Markle and Sweden's Cornelia Jakobs are all worth keeping an eye on.
