Eurovision UK contestants where are they now – from Scooch star’s shock heart attack to Jemini singer’s tax fraud
THE EUROVISION final kicks off on Saturday night - and the UK is in with a real chance of winning. In recent years our entries haven’t had as much promise as Sam Ryder, who is second favourite to win the contest this weekend in Turin, Italy according to bookies. Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra are favourites to win Eurovision with their rousingly defiant tune Stefania.

It’s a far cry from last year’s James Newman, who finished with an embarrassing nul points after waiting two years to get on stage.
