'As for the U.K., it might have finished second last, but for one night, I felt how good we can be when we’re outward-looking and open-hearted. That is a lesson far more important than winning.' Eurovision
Closing the show is the U.K., with Mae Miller somehow managing to walk down an incredibly high staircase without falling on her ass. The song is a chilled, low-key breakup bop which reminds me of Dua Lipa’s “New Rules.” Miller has become a beloved figure in the U.K. since she was chosen to represent the host nation and, although a win is unlikely, she did us proud. I want to have a drunk chat with her in the smoking area of a gay bar and tell her she looks fabulous.
The night was also a triumph for the BBC, the U.K.’s public broadcaster, who have managed to strike just the right balance between excitable hosts and gracious co-hosts with Ukraine. In recent months, the BBC has been embroiled in high-profile scandals, one of which led to the resignation of chairman Richard Sharp after he failed to disclose an £800,000 loan he secured for former prime minister Boris Johnson.
