UK Eurovision entry Sam Ryder has returned from Turin and joined Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2 to thank fans for their support. He got 'emotional' as the morning radio host replayed clips from the exciting night of entertainment which saw the UK end second place on the leader board.
"How could you do that to me?" Sam said as he joined the radio studio at Wogan House, "I've had no sleep, I'm so emotional now. I feel like I'm welling up straight away!".
The 32-year-old TikTok sensation came second on May 14 when the live grand final of Eurovision was broadcast. Following a few years of low or nil points for the UK, Sam smashed his performance and bagged 283 points from the jury scores. He missed out on the top place following the public vote, which showed an outpouring of support for Ukraine - who were crowned the winners with 631 votes in total.
