Ukraine and the UK are the favourites as the final countdown begins to tonight's annual Eurovision extravaganza, taking place in Italy

"I get to sing in a room and connect with people and not think about where I come on a scoreboard," he told Sky News.

Ryder is up against a Ukraine entry that could well surge to victory in a show of support for the war-torn country - with the odds tipping them to hoover up the big points. Other notable hopefuls include Serbian artist Konstrakta, whose peculiar song references Meghan Markle and begins with the lyrics :"What could be the secret of Meghan Markle's healthy hair?Serbia's song references Meghan MarkleEurovision fans seeking more weird and wonderful Europop should also look out for the yellow"alien" heads of Norway's Subwoolfer and their song Give That Wolf A Banana.

skynewsniall I don’t know why it stil keeps going. Not only has the whole thing become political, the acts get more outrageous, and the songs get more ridiculous, each year

skynewsniall Amazing what 40 mill in aid can buy you Watch Ukraine gift the UK 12 points 😂😂😂 Corruption live on TV

skynewsniall Setting yourself up for disappointment. The UK deserves to be treated like shit by Europe and I fully expect the Europeans to deliver on it.

skynewsniall Ukraine could enter a cat being strangled and they'd still win. Not that I'm implying Eurovision is political or anything.

skynewsniall The parrots of Evil CIA=arm/gun producing companies or the real rulers of US=West made every thing/every institution a tool, from sport-FIFA/UEFA..to Eurovision to media, to Hollywood to ... I believe today the parrots and brainwashed folks will vote for Ukraine

All staged, a set up 🙈🙈🙈😂😂😂😂🖖🤟

skynewsniall Sorry. I thought it was Susan Boyle for a moment talking.

skynewsniall and this woman need to be sectioned under the mental health act.

skynewsniall Ukraine win its a farce cancel de god dam thing

skynewsniall Not a chance, the UK is a laughing stock to the rest of the world.

skynewsniall But I thought the main benefit of Brexit was no longer having to go through this every year.

skynewsniall It’s a scam

UK 😲😂😂😭😂😂

Work is not a place

UK won't win is my guess, but will do better than previous years.

Ukraine could just put a potted plant on stage for 3 minutes and it would win

Ukraines song is absolutely awesome

So if Ukraine win this year, they have to host next year - partially fund that and a war or best case repairs on its war ravaged cities. The intention is lovely but It seems unfair to them.

Obviously Ukraine will win it.. it’s a fix….

Surely Australia and Israel are in with a shout?

UK will be bottom quartile . It always has to be .

Neither is decent TBH. Much better out there

UK are that desperate to win it looks like they brought Jesus into help 🤔

How are we favourites? I mean I haven't heard the song or anything but everybody hates us!

Nobody could possibly think this is a political contest and has little to do with music. 🤔

🤣🤣🤣 we all know we’re getting nil points as usual

Had a decent song last year and got 0 points come out with a shit song this year and one of the favourites 😂 gotta love Eurovision
