How its going:

Olly Alexander found out the public had awarded him null points.

The 33-year-old represented the UK with his track Dizzy, and while votes from the jury
appeared positive on Saturday night (11 May), the singer sadly received no points from
the public.

The UK only got 9 votes from the public last year and only 15 from the juries.
The UK is not in the bottom 3 this year
The UK didn't get no points at all.

The UK with probably only a couple of exceptions is usually in the bottom 3.
Far less votes than in the 40s too.

It's not a good result but it's far better than you and others in the media predicted.

I never expect a really good result for the UK no matter who represents us.
The UK is seen negatively worldwide on many issues and therefore gets overlooked in competitive voting circles.
