Did you know? Random facts!

  • The Eurovision Song Contest started with just seven participating countries in 1956.
  • Norway have been at the bottom of the scoreboard 11 times (but have also won three times).

Settle down ahead of the show and take a look at tonight’s placings – Malta kick off proceedings, the UK are somewhere in the middle, while Spain wraps up the show in 26th spot.

Who is favourite to win?

Not that we’re encouraging you to go out and place your bets of course, but should you want to know who the odds are favouring, look no further.

The Netherlands are currently favourites to win, followed by Australia and Switzerland.

The Netherlands haven’t won since 1975, while Australia came second in 2016. Switzerland haven’t been in the final since 2014, so it’s all to play for.

Sadly for the UK, Michael Rice’s entry has just a 1% chance of winning according to the latest odds but he’s not alone – 15 other countries also share the same depressing outlook as things stand.

So you want to find Eurovision – look no further!

You can watch all the action on BBC One from 20:00 BST, with Graham Norton’s witty repartee keeping us entertained.

You can also listen to Ken Bruce’s dulcet tones on BBC Radio 2 at the same time.

Welcome, bienvenue and happy Eurovision!
