It’s the Eurovision grand final tonight in Turin and there’s a clear favourite to win – Ukraine’s entry by Kalush Orchestra.
The band were given special permission to leave Ukraine and travel around Europe to drum up support for their song Stefania – while Russia has been banned from taking part.

C4Ciaran Why because UK's so supportive of Ukraine? Not 'Nul points' this year then?
C4Ciaran Feel sorry for the contestants this yr , worst yr to participate knowing u got no chance as Ukraine will win out of pity

C4Ciaran Only Ukraine can possibly win

C4Ciaran Nil points then 😂😂
