As Olly Alexander flies the flag for the United Kingdom with his song Dizzy at the 68th Eurovision Song Contest, twenty-six incredible acts perform in a bid for the most points, but only one will be crowned the new Eurovision champion. As the nation collectively crosses its fingers for Olly, the show promises spectacular performances ahead of the world-famous, nail-biting results sequence as the all-important points are called out. Following Loreen’s victory in Liverpool last May, seven-time winner Sweden takes over as host of the much-loved competition.
