Some facts on this may be useful - this was a rehearsal, following the flag parade, with no scores given at this point - and the ones that did happen later that evening were merely a tech run for the real thing. But why let the truth get in the way of a good story 🤷🏻‍♂️

Shameful that our act at Eurovision was abandoned by the BBC and his team as the scores came in! And how lovely of the Denmark team to invite him to sit with them, so he wasn’t alone. Well done BBC, you chose him and then you abandoned him. Vile.
