Pink News reports that fans are as elated as they are surprised that the UK’s run of bad luck at the Eurovision Song Contest, with year on year coming last in the festival, was finally broken on Saturday night with Sam Ryder’s stunning anthem “spaceman” chalking up “douze points” from country after country as the results came in. Television presenter Graham Norton, overseeing the BBC coverage of the pan-European event, told viewers at one point “this is not a sketch, we really are winning” and elation was echoed by thousands of fans.
