Javine fizzles out in Eurovision
UK entrant Javine Hylton had a dismal night at the Eurovision Song Contest as her song Touch My Fire failed to spark voters' interest.
The 23-year-old Girls Aloud reject scraped only 18 points in the voting and came third from last.
Greece took first place with Elena Paparizou's song My Number One scoring 230 points.
Javine almost rivalled the UK's entry for 2003, when Jemini rose to fame for being the group which scored nil points for the UK for the first time.
This year's contest, which is the 50th anniversary of the competition, was hosted on BBC 1 by Terry Wogan in his traditional role.
As Javine failed to score he said: "It's extraordinary. The voting is all over the place.
"We are languishing at the bottom of the pile with nil points - not again."
The UK entry was eventually raised from the bottom of the table by eight points from Ireland and finally totalled 18.
Javine, who was second to perform, had feared an inflamed throat which developed this week would affect her performance.
However, she made a valiant effort to belt out her song, which she had co-written with John Themis.
She wore a short gold dress designed by Luke Hall and decorated with crystals.
