TV host Rylan Clark has said he believes Brooke Scullion was “robbed” of Eurovision glory.
The Derry girl failed to qualify for the finals of the song contest this year in Turin, Italy with her song, That’s Rich.
UK star Rylan said he always believed she was “robbed” a place in the final.

He told 98FM’s Big Breakfast with Rebecca and Brendan: “Brooke was robbed this year, she should have qualified, and I even said this live on the BBC, that girl's been robbed, so I took her out in London for a night out. She deserved a night out on me.”
Rylan has been tipped as one of the frontrunners to host the reboot of Big Brother next year.
But the former X Factor singer played down rumours, saying: “I don’t know who's hosting Big Brother, I genuinely don’t and you know if I was hosting it, it would have slipped out by now but I know it is coming back.
"I've pushed for it to come back the last 4 or 5 years, I think there's a decision that needs to be made whether it goes completely fresh, or whether there is some familiarity.”
When asked has he had any conversations about having any involvement in Big Brother, Rylan replied: “I am always having conversations about Big Brother, always, and I have been for the last five years, but look whatever happens with Big Brother, it’s time for it to come back, it’s the OG.
"Love Island is great, all these other reality shows are fantastic, but Big Brother is the original and I think it's time we look after the originals,” he added.
