Eurovision 2022 airs tonight in the UK from 8PM on BBC One. You can also watch online on iPlayer.
The show is due to conclude at just before midnight but has often overran in past years.
As well as the TV airing, you can also listen in via BBC Radio 2 with Ken Bruce from 8PM as well.
Going into tonight’s show, Sam is ranked as one of the favourites to win although it’s Ukraine who currently lead the odds.
Sarah Kinsella, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “Sam Ryder is the most followed UK musician on TikTok and punters are really getting behind him to bag the victory at the Eurovision Song Contest.
“They have waited a long time and after we cut them into 11/1 from 40/1 last month, they are now just 5/1 as the support is so strong.”
Meanwhile, it’s been confirmed that AJ Odudu will act as the UK’s spokesperson to give our scores.
