The second qualifier of the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 will be held on Thursday night as Ireland's entrant Brooke Scullion takes to the stage in Turin, Italy, in an attempt to qualify for Saturday's final.
Brooke will compete for the top prize against 39 different nations, including bookies' favourite Ukraine, following Vladimir Putin's invasion of the country, which saw Russia banned from the contest.
The event itself takes significant preparation from songwriting, rehearsing, stage visual effects and much more.
