Sam Ryder has seen his hopes of winning Eurovision for the UK boosted further after a video of his performance in the jury semi final has spread like wildfire on social media ahead of the grand finale on Saturday evening.
Last week , Sam was sitting in fourth place in the Eurovision odds with his song Space Man but, after his second rehearsal in Turin received a rave reaction from press over in Italy and fans and he was given a huge advantage by being drawn in the second half of the Eurovision final, he soared up to second. A few days ago he had dropped back to fourth as bookies put Italy and Sweden back ahead of him, however the betting has now changed again overnight.
And that's all down to Sam himself after the TikTok star blew away the audience who flocked to the Pala Olimpico arena in Turin to see the second jury semi final, ahead of Thursday's live Eurovision semi final 2 being broadcast to viewers across the world. There was great excitement last week when it was revealed that Sam had the 'biggest prop' of this year's contest, in the form of a huge structure which opens up to look like wings on either side of him.
