Rylan says 'just be thankful' in public exchange with rival radio DJ as they slam Eurovision Song Contest decision

Rylan Clark has found himself in a public debate as a rival radio DJ questioned Sweden's win in the Eurovision Song Contest. It was a big night on Saturday (May 13) as the world's biggest music event took place in the UK for the first time in 25 years.

The 67th edition of the contest took place in Liverpool on behalf of the Ukraine where the event would have traditionally been held after Kalush Orchestra stormed to victory in Turin back in May 2022. But the ongoing Russian invasion resulted in the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) deciding it was not a 'viable option' for the country to host the contest.

The massive event was held at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena and after only six months of planning, 26 acts and bands took to the stage in a bid to claim the Eurovision 2023 title and get their hands on the coveted trophy.
