The UK's Eurovision entrant Sam Ryder is a tipped to rack up points at this year's contest and if he wins with his song 'Spaceman' he will be the first UK contestant to take victory since 1997.
Essex born Sam, 32, has been placing high on the expected rankings at this year's Eurovision contest, a welcome break for the UK who have seen several years of embarrassingly poor scores at the international music competition.
Sam, who found fame posting covers on social media site Tik Tok, will represent the UK at the 2022 contest this weekend.
