The competition returned tonight for the grand final as 25 acts battled it out on stage in Vienna, Austria at the Wiener Stadthalle.
Sam recently admitted to The Jattvibe that his song is like “marmite” and Eurovision fans couldn’t have agreed more.
One viewer wrote: “I can confidently say that the UK won’t be winning this year.”
A second posted: “What the hell was that UK Eurovision entry, looked like they picked the act out a pub raffle.”

A third echoed: “UK every year I think you can get any lower but this time I think you managed to do it.”
Another added: “UK seems to really want to be in last place year after year at Eurovision.”
But not everyone agreed as this person said: “The crowd seemed to like our song and not many have been catchy. Maybe singing in German is a clever trick? UK may score well here.”
A second commented: “He did so well. So cute,” while this viewer said: “Well done, UK. I really enjoyed that.”
In an exclusive interview this week, Sam said: “There are gonna be people that don’t like the UK for the sake of it being the UK, but that’s the way it is. We can’t change that.
“So we’ve just got to crack on. Keep calm and carry on.”
Due to its German title and lyrics about being “sick of munching roly-poly with custard” — and about how pounds “feel counterfeit” and needing “some euros to counter it” — some have interpreted it as an apology for Brexit.
He is also known for his madcap inventions — such as an organ made from Furbies and a synthesiser-equipped bike — which he shares with 721,000 YouTube subscribers.
Sam, 37, was picked for Eurovision by the BBC at the start of the year having made a name for himself by touring across Europe.
Meanwhile, Delta Goodrem is hoping to make Eurovision history and guide Australia to victory.
As well as pyrotechnics, smoke machines, and wind, Delta levitated high above her glittering golden piano.
The former Neighbours star stunned with her note-perfect rendition of her power ballad entry, Eclipse.
She is an early favourite behind Denmark and Finland.
In an exclusive chat at her hotel in Vienna ahead of tonight’s show, Delta said: “I had to get the lift flown in from the States.
“I have borrowed it. I’ve never flown out of a piano before and I’ve done a lot of shows.
“When it comes to the performance, there was like a shopping list of things I could have and yes, I basically said yes to everything.
“I go into the final with a lot of respect for what Eurovision is. It’s an icon. It’s 70 years of being iconic.”
A year ago this week, it was in The Jattvibe’s Bizarre column that Delta first revealed her dream to take part in Eurovision.
During tonight’s competition Israeli singer Noam Bettan performed their song Michelle.
But Israel’s participation in the singing competition sparked controversy.
The Eurovision walkouts followed the European Broadcasting Union’s (EBU) general assembly in Geneva on December 4, 2025.
EBU members voted on new rules to tighten voting and promotion guidelines, but did not put Israel’s participation itself to a separate vote – meaning Israeli broadcaster KAN was cleared to compete.
Within hours, Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland and Slovenia all announced their withdrawals. On December 10, 2025, Iceland followed suit.
The boycotters have cited the war in Gaza and concerns over the integrity of recent contests.
Spain was the first of the contest’s Big Five broadcasters – the five biggest financial contributors – to officially confirm it was boycotting Eurovision.
