Mae Muller responds to UK's disappointing Eurovision result

The UK came second-to-last in Eurovision 2023

That's Eurovision over for yet another year and the UK did not do quite as well as hoped, coming second-to-last with just 24 points.

In recent years we haven't had the best of track records at Eurovision, as while last year's entry ('Space Man' by Sam Ryder) made it into second place, four of the last five British entries have finished in the bottom three, including two last placed finishes.

Nearer the top of the points table this year, Finland were absolutely robbed as Sweden took the number one spot and some fans really aren't happy with the way it panned out.

The UK's entry this year was Mae Muller, who sang 'I Wrote A Song' and while she avoided the dreaded 'nul points' it was yet another year of the UK getting absolutely done over at Eurovision.

Jury points came from Ukraine, Finland, Sweden, Ireland and Australia, while televoting from Ukraine and Malta added to our tally.

Sadly it was nowhere near enough to climb up the points table and Muller has spoken out after the final to talk about the result.

Muller took to Twitter to thank everyone who'd played a part in her getting a chance to perform at the eclectic event that is Eurovision, as no matter how many points you score it's always going to be a night to remember.

She wrote: "I just want to say thank u x i know i joke a lot but we really put our all into the last few months, not the result we hoped for but so proud of everyone & what we achieved on this journey.

"Congrats to all the countries, I’ll never forget this journey and I love you all."

This was met with plenty of messages sending love and reassuring the singer that the Liverpool crowd loved her performance and that she 'deserved so much better'.

Mae Muller at least had fun at Eurovision.

In fairness she was up against a previous Eurovision winner, as Sweden's Loreen scooped the coveted glass microphone trophy for a second time.

While Mae's performance didn't pull in the points as hoped the night itself was packed full of razzmatazz, razzle-dazzle and pizzazz that Eurovision demands.

Liverpool put on a big, bombastic and at time emotional event which had basically everything you could ever want from Eurovision.

It even had Mel Giedroyc pretending to dramatically churn butter as she was sat behind Hannah Waddingham, and since it was happening at Eurovision it's all part of the show.

You just don't get this stuff anywhere except Eurovision, which will now be Sweden's responsibility to host as the winning country gets to put on the next show.
