He's one of the favourites to win this year's Eurovision Song Contest and fans were daring to dream of victory after UK entry Sam Ryder delivered an 'amazing' performance of Space Man in the final. Viewers think TikTok sensation Sam is out best chance of victory in years and they flocked to Twitter to heap praise on his powerful voice and the melodic song co-written with Max Wolfgang and Ed Sheeran collaborator Amy Wadge.
The UK has won Eurovision five times. Its winners are Sandie Shaw with Puppet on a String, Lulu with Boom Bang-a-Bang, Brotherhood of Man with Save Your Kisses for Me, Bucks Fizz with Making Your Mind Up and its last win was with Katrina and the Waves with Love Shine a Light in 1997.
