Another year, another Eurovision – and it seems like the UK is stuck in a never-ending cycle of nul points! Represented by Sam Battle, aka Look Mum No Computer, the UK landed in 25th place in the 2026 contest with his track, “Eins, Zwei, Drei”. Despite his spirited performance, it was only Ukraine’s jury who tossed him a single point, leaving our entry out in the cold with a grand total of just one point from the jury votes. The public vote? Well, it didn’t quite warm up to us.
Why does the UK keep finding itself on the right side of the leaderboard? It’s been almost three decades since our last win with Katrina and the Waves! Remember when Sam Ryder dazzled us in 2022 grabbing a stunning second place in Turin? Aside from that, it’s been a bit of a rough ride for UK acts, with poor Bonnie Tyler only managing 19th in 2013.
Here’s the full list of 23 countries whose juries gave us zilch this year: Switzerland, Malta, Luxembourg, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, San Marino, Estonia, Israel, Australia, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden, Albania, Cyprus, Georgia, Montenegro, Armenia, Poland, Greece, Czechia, Denmark, and France. Ouch!
Still, Eurovision is about more than just points – it’s all about the fun and fabulousness of it all. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed for next time, and who knows? Maybe one day we’ll shine as bright as Katrina again! 🌟🎤
