It's official, Sam Ryder has been crowned the best UK Eurovision entry. Ever 👨🚀
Last month, radio listeners were asked to rank their top five favourite songs with Bucks Fizz’s 1981 hit Making Your Mind Up in second place and Gina G’s Ooh Aah…Just a Little Bit placing third.‘I’m just so grateful,’ Sam said about the result
Speaking about his official title, Sam enthused: ‘This is just bonkers! We went into that competition as fans and we thought it may be that we come absolutely dead last. But what we can achieve is holding ourselves with a certain grace and respect for being there in the first place, and gratitude first and foremost.
‘When we were sat there on the night and those scores started coming in, we were looking at each other bursting out laughing because we didn’t have a clue that would happen. And now this result! I’m just so grateful. ‘Thanks to all of the listeners who voted and everyone at Radio 2 who supported the song from day one – I really honestly appreciate it.’Hoping to follow in Sam’s successful footsteps this year is Mae Muller, who will be waving the UK flag in two weeks.but her name had been thrown into the mix of rumours.
