United Kingdom finishes last in 2026 Eurovision song contest

In the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, the United Kingdom finished in last place, securing only one point. The performer, Sam Battle, known as 'Look Mum No Computer', represented the country with the synth-pop song titled 'Eins, Zwei, Drei'. This marks the third time the UK has finished last since 2020. Since 2010, the nation has only reached the top ten once. The performance featured Battle in a bright pink jumpsuit, singing about leaving office work to count in Germany. Critics and observers, including Graham Norton and BBC correspondents, noted the performance was a departure from the country's traditionally safe pop entries, acting as a risky, eccentric experiment. While some industry experts praised the ambition behind the production, the entry received zero points from the public vote, mirroring the result of 2024.
